I'll note that https://github.com/jrmarino/Ravenports says:
Official Website
Please visit http://ravenports.ironwolf.systems for additional and current information.
Ravenports has its own repository: Unlike ports-mgmt/synth,
Ravenports is not based on the FreeBSD ports tree in FreeBSD.
So switching is more than a tool change. The list of available
ports is visible at:
http://ravenports.ironwolf.systems/catalog/
It said "2,356 entries" at the time I looked. They are
just getting started.
It looks like for those not on x86-64/amd64 and aarch64
will possibly be out of range for Ravenports. Also some
*BSD's may be as well.
Details:
Extracting some text from the Supported Platforms area
of the http://ravenports.ironwolf.systems/ page. . .
(Track by looking at the original page.)
. . .
For the core developers, the main architectures targeted are the x86_64 and ARM Aarch64.
New architecture support from serious contributors capable of performing the initial
bootstrap and periodic quality-assurance builds of the entire Ravenports tree will be
accepted into the project.
Long Term
Support increasingly unlikely
• Darwin/Mac OSX/x86_64
• OpenBSD/amd64
• NetBSD/amd64
• i386 (Linux and *BSD)
Short Term
Platform support planned
• Solaris 10+ / Illumos
• FreeBSD/ARM64
• Linux/AArch64
Current
Currently supported platforms
• DragonFly 4.9 and later
• FreeBSD/amd64 Release 11 and later
• Linux/x86-64 (glib 2.6.32-based)

in right-box to left-box order.)
