Comment(by ryandesign@…):

 Replying to [comment:1 vince@…]:
 > If I am not mistaken, what you suggest would result in the buildbot
 compiling just its hardware configuration, so that all other cases would
 have to rely on a machine build instead of downloading the Buildbot one…
 is that correct?

 Yes, that's the idea.

 > Your remark is also relevant to Atlas… but in this case we would have
 dozens of variants to manage…

 Yeah, that would be problematic.

 > Wouldn't it be easier to add a command disabling binary download of the
 ports whose building and performance are strongly connected to the
 hardware they’re running on?

 You can already do that by setting archive_sites to empty in a portfile.
 It doesn't solve the problem of a user manually moving an archive from one
 machine to another, and it doesn't provide an indication in "port
 installed" that the build is any different from any other build, but short
 of variants I'm not sure how to fix those problems.
