 Yes, {{{openmaintainer}}} can be added.

 Truthfully, I do not know how to test for the port having a universal
 build as this program is designed to communicate with the System
 Management BIOS/Desktop Management Interface (SMBIOS/DMI) for Intel-based
 processors only.

 PowerPC processors use OpenFirmware which is incompatible with this
 program. I am only aware of OpenFirmware being accessible from a reboot
 and inputting the key sequence Command + Option + "O" (Letter "o" as in
 "no") + "F" and holding until you hear he boot chime twice.

 Other than that I apologize as I am unable to verify that this program
 will compile successfully on a PowerPC as it certainly will not run if it
 is able to be installed on a PowerPC-based system.
