 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.
