Just login on multiple consoles or use multiple x terminals (if running 
X) and on each one run 'make' for the port you want to compile.  The 
port(s) will be fetched and compiled simultaneously.  Then all you need 
to do is to run 'make install' for each port.

Note: I'm not sure but I think it's not a good practice to issue more 
than one 'make install' at a time.
