 I have trouble building some ports for 64 bit, so I found the FAQ entry
 mentioning "build_arch", which suggests that it's possible to build for
 another arch.

 HOWEVER, I can find no info on how to use this feature anywhere. Neither
 the wiki nor the man page nor "port help" mentions "build_arch".

 Besides this problem of lacking docs on build_arch, it would be good if
 the FAQ could simply give instructions on what needs to be done in order
 to rebuild all ports (and future installs as well) for i386 on a 10.6 64
 bit system.
