Hello!

I'd like to set the default value for a new port's OPTION depending on the 
MACHINE_ARCH ("on" for i386, "off" for others).

However, portlint would not let me. MACHINE_ARCH can only be used _after_ 
including mk.ports.pre.mk, and OPTIONS can only be modified _before_ it.

Any suggestions? Can I just ignore this "fatal" issue?
