altivec compiler

[Mark Brethen]

Taucs is a C library of sparse linear solvers that is a dependency for calculix-ccx. Looking at its config, it assigns 

CFLAGS    = -O3 -faltivec
LIBBLAS   = -framework vecLib

1. Is altivec supported in the macports compilers group?
2. There is a vecLib framework in /System/Frameworks but I’m not familiar with it. Would the atlas port suffice for libBlas and libLapack?
