Then you should not presume it won't work. Just omit the supported_archs
line to let the default (all archs are supported) take effect. If it turns
out not to work on PowerPC, users will bug us about it, and we can address
it then.

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.
> Now here we have a real problem. I forgot that I had been using an
updated gnumeric and therefore goffice in a local repository, and that
MacPorts still has 0.8.x. They had attempted to update it before, but had
to drop it back down because anything above goffice 0.8.x breaks GnuCash
(r91843). So after submitting this, I realized if anyone wanted to try
it, they would need the updated office 0.10.x portfile, which gnome-
chemistry-utils requires. It seems that Fedora deals with the problem by
making a separate goffice08 dependency for GnuCash, perhaps someone can
take a look at doing that?
That sounds reasonable, and not difficult to accomplish, since there are
only two ports currently depending on goffice.
