It's a metaphor. 
It's a metaphor for the film still being made and the restart of the Trek franchise.

One, take it as a metaphor.
Secondly regarding "the canon" (hear the angels sing, alaaaaaaaa...), this film is set in multiple time periods - how the time travel aspect comes into play in these different time periods is unknown. But if we see Pike in the chair as well as Kirk (Pine has already confirmed as much), then ... oh bugger, I'm sick of explaining.

Save all your colourful metaphors until after you've seen the film.

Well I had an junior high creative writing teacher who always said, "Metaphors be with you."
Well, I don't think we can conclusively say that it was purely a metaphor.
There's a very real chance that what we saw in the teaser trailer was the in-story version of the Enterprise being built.
This might be confirmed in the final film, or may never be mentioned again (in which case we will never know for sure, absent creator comment on the subject).

I recall somebody over at Trekmovie.com asking whether the construction would be seen in the film. To which Roberto Orci replied, "No comment".
There appears to be scope for the film to do so. Afterall they're showing Kirk at different ages, so why not the ship he goes on to command?

Bah! Beat me to it.
Isn't the phrase supposed to be "Take a Romulan Chill Pill."?
Yeah, who else remembers that?
Jeeze louise...am I the only one embarassed by the dramatic tendencies among some of assembled fandom?
