No. CONCURRENCY_LEVEL is make-kpkg specific as far as I know.

For make, the standard way of doing things is to use the -j (aka jobs) argument:

make -j8

To affect all the make compilations without using the -j option you can specify everything on the MAKEFLAGS environment variable. Something like:

export MAKEFLAGS="-j4"
