The MAKEOPTS variable is used to specify arguments passed to when packages are built from source. A commonly used setting is the  which specifies the number of parallel  jobs that can be used for a single package build. A widely used rule of thumb for N is to take the number of available logical CPU cores. A physical CPU core employing a X -way SMT technique (eg. Hyper-Threading or SMT2) counts as X logical cores.
