It's actually somewhat worse than this: When compiling a new port with
dependencies, the internal foo_DEPENDS logic will detect the i386 .so
but the port's own configuration tools or build process will normally
die in interesting ways when they can't actually use that .so.

Please excuse any delays as the result of my ISP's inability to implement
an MTA that is either RFC2821-compliant or matches their claimed behaviour.
