Currently there are only a few ports with 64bit variants:
nbench-byte +use_64_bit
ubench +use_64_bit
judy +bit64
john-devel +use_64_bit
(john-devel was updated with 64bit support by me, picking the more common
name).
Before there are many more ports with such variants, we need to decide on a
standard name; I found that +64bit isn't liked by port as it thinks that is
the name of a port, not a variant so I guess it doesn't like a variant name
to start with a number.
The only issue I have with +use_64_bit is it's long and a pain to type...
