I'm starting to think we should make the linux_base-# ports into meta
ports which pull in linux_base_<arch> ports.  At the very least we will
need seperate linux-i386 and linux-amd64 ports for amd64 machines and I
wouldn't be all the suprised to see similar issues crop up on other
architectures which support 32-bit and 64-bit in some way.  (PPC and
MIPS seem like the most likely places this would happen).
