Graceless handling of xorg's graphics/dri dependency on non-{i386,alpha}

Not to seem nit-picky but...

Doing a "make depends" in x11/xorg on amd64 to bring in the packages
just recently added to the distribution:

===>   Returning to build of xorg-6.7.0_1
===>   xorg-6.7.0_1 depends on file: /usr/X11R6/bin/Xvfb - found
===>   xorg-6.7.0_1 depends on file: /usr/X11R6/bin/Xprt - found
===>   xorg-6.7.0_1 depends on file:
/usr/X11R6/lib/modules/dri/r200_dri.so - not found
===>    Verifying install for /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/dri/r200_dri.so in
/usr/ports/graphics/dri
===>  dri-5.0.2,1 is only for i386 alpha, and you are running amd64.
*** Error code 1

Stop in /usr/ports/graphics/dri.
*** Error code 1

Stop in /usr/ports/x11/xorg.

Couldn't this be handled a little more gracefully?
