I'd say worth it to standardize on NOT_FOR_ARCHS / ONLY_FOR_ARCHS to
handle this sort of thing.  By my calculations there are 28 ports that
set 'BROKEN' because of architecture incompatibility on my amd64
system[*], whereas there are 904 ports that set either ONLY_FOR_ARCHS or
NOT_FOR_ARCHS.

	Cheers,

[*] there would be more on sparc64 or other tier-2 architectures, but
the way I counted didn't pick those cases up, just the ones that set
BROKEN on the current architecture.

portindex=> SELECT
    p.parent || '/' || p.name as port
FROM
    caveat NATURAL JOIN ports_by_name p
WHERE
    caveat_type='BROKEN'
    AND caveat ~ 'sparc|i386|amd64|ia64|pc'
ORDER BY
    port
;
        port
