Alas, there is no support for this in bsd.ports.mk et al yet.

pkg(8) supports this functionality just fine, so you can make arch
independent packages by writing your own +MANIFEST and running 'pkg
create' directly -- eg. like in des' blog: http://blog.des.no/2013/07/

This is pkg(8) being prepared for future enhancements to the pkgrepos:
not storing multiple essentially identical copies of packages where we
don't need to.  But that's a work in progress still.
