This is an old one that has been re-ordered, see :

http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/ports/emulators/dolphin-emu-devel/Makefile.diff?r1=1.2;r2=1.3

and to be honest, I am not sure whether Dolphin is still BROKEN or not
on PowerPC, as it should now be buildable on (e.g.) Android devices too.

To encourage people to test the port on other archs, maybe something like :

ONLY_FOR_ARCHS=         i386 amd64
ONLY_FOR_ARCHS_REASON=  Has only been tested on i386 and amd64

would be more explicit ?
