The order in which targets are built is an issue with Make, not with
distcc.

Perhaps the simplest thing is for you to just keep using pmake on
Linux?  I don't think distcc has any particular dependency on GNU
make.  If it doesn't work with pmake please send a report.

I don't know any GNU Make feature similar to .ORDER, though you can
perhaps get close by running the commands explicitly.

all:
        $(MAKE) target1
        $(MAKE) target2
