Dual licensing syntax

There are two ways a port can have multiple licenses. There may be a set
of licenses all of which apply (e.g. OpenSSL), or a choice of one
license from the set may be offered (e.g. Perl). There could also be a
combination of these.
We don't currently have a syntax for the case where there's a choice.
I'd suggest separating them with a pipe; so for example the perl5.12
portfile would say:
license Artistic|GPL
and a perl module incorporating some BSD-licensed files might say:
license Artistic|GPL BSD
Any objections or better ideas?
