 * Argh, sorry, this is a 3.0-ism.  Hmmm.  Help, Satoshi!  Since your
 * stuff is sort of weirdly "cross branch" here, what's the canonical way
 * of dealing with architecture specific changes in the ports collection?

As a generic answer: you can put stuff in "patches.alpha" etc. if the
differences are major.  These replace the generic "patches" etc.  See
bsd.port.mk for which subdirectories are supported.  You can also
create a "Makefile.alpha", which is included only for alphas for
instance.

It's probably easier to #ifdef the sources in most cases, though.

Satoshi
