Sure, why not!?

If something breaks try the defaults.

Even when you build world/kernel with -j4 there should be an error
message. What is it? If you can't find it build without -j4. If it
still fails post the error here or on the stable mailing list.

I build world and kernel (stable/13 and main) for amd64, armv7 and
arm64 with -j4 and have no issues.
