Comment (by mojca@…):

 The port `p5-mac-carbon` fails with
 {{{
 *** 64-BIT WARNING ***  *** 64-BIT WARNING ***  *** 64-BIT WARNING ***
 Mac-Carbon does not run under 64-bit perl, and it appears you're running
 a 64-bit perl.  We can try to compile anyway, in case this is a fat
 binary;
 we'll try to leave out the 64-bit compilation.

 My guess is that you're running a 64-bit, non-fat, perl and that there's
 no
 real chance this will work.  But you set TRY_ANYWAY=1 so we'll try anyway.

 If you want to use these modules, it must be in 32-bit mode.  For more
 information, see:

     http://use.perl.org/~pudge/journal/39596

 Some other ports fail with
 {{{

 Error: its dependency p5.16-mac-appleevents-simple only supports the
 arch(s) 'i386 ppc'.
