Comment(by aaron@…):

 I am trying to install wxwidgets through ports, and smpeg is failing,
 because it will not build universal. Joshua, the ticket has already been
 opened, and closed (!@#!@%), quite a few times over the last year. When
 closed, the message is "don't build universal", but I cannot work out how
 to do this.

 To get through my roadblock, I think I need to work out how to add
 depends_skip_archcheck to the port as an enduser. I am not an expert in
 ports, or a unix sysadmin, but an AI researcher - so this type of thing is
 not my specialty. So, is that the correct thing to do? How would I do it?
