Comment (by ryandesign@…):

 The port says "supported_archs x86_64 i386". So it definitely does not
 work on PowerPC?

 In the long description, you may benefit from inserting newlines. See the
 moreutils port for an example.

 You don't need to specify "depends_extract port:xz"; saying "use_xz yes"
 does that automatically.

 You should not declare a dependency on port:xorg-server. That port
 provides X11.app, which is but one way that users can access X11 programs.
 (Other ways include using Apple's X11.app, or the one from XQuartz, or
 using an X11 server on a different computer.) You should however declare
 dependencies on any individual X11 libraries this port links with; there
 are individual ports for each.

 The lines of hash marks should be removed from the notes. The notes should
 just be a paragraph (or paragraphs) of text. If you feel MacPorts does not
 draw sufficient attention to the notes in the installation output, then
 that is a global issue that should be addressed by changing MacPorts base,
 not by changing each individual port.

 You've attached a second portfile, of goffice. We already have a port of
 goffice. If you're proposing to update the goffice port in some way, file
 a new ticket, and attach a unified diff of your changes to it. First
 consult any existing open tickets about goffice to see if they relate.
