I have installed the port now, and verified that it installs no architecture-specific files, and so it needs "supported_archs noarch".

Sorry, I meant to edit that out; apparently it is a standard directory and does not violate the mtree. This came as a surprise to me though; the directory is empty on my system with over 1200 ports installed, so it is not a directory in common use by ports. Why was this directory chosen to install this port's files into? Architecture-independent files used at runtime are typically installed in ${prefix}/share/${name}.

I would also hesitate to copy the entire worksrcdir into it. For example the README.htm would be better placed in ${prefix}/share/doc/${name}, and the Thumbs.db is a Windows thumbnail cache and thus not relevant to MacPorts.
