 The 10.6-i386 buildbot avoids building many packages:
 {{{
 #!bash
 if [[ $exclude -eq 0 && "${os_version}" = "10.6" && "${is_64bit_capable}"
 = "0" ]]; then
     supported_archs=$("${option_prefix}/bin/port-tclsh" "${thisdir}/tools
 /supported-archs.tcl" "${port}")
     if [[ -n "${supported_archs}" && ! ("${supported_archs}" == *"x86_64"*
 && "${supported_archs}" == *"i386"*) ]]; then
         exclude=1
         exclude_reasons+=("the ${os_version}_x86_64 builder will build
 it")
     fi
 fi
 }}}
 I believe that a similar strategy could be used to avoid building packages
 that are declared not to be supported on PPC.

 See [https://build.macports.org/builders/ports-10.5_ppc_legacy-
 builder/builds/11580/steps/install-port/logs/stdio an example] of the
 libvpx port which doesn't even start to build:
 {{{
 Error: libvpx cannot be installed for the configured build_arch 'ppc'
 because it only supports the arch(s) 'x86_64 i386'.
 Error: Processing of port libvpx failed
 Build of 'libvpx' failed.
 }}}

Comment (by larryv):

 Most of this fiddling should be done in the Buildbot configuration and not
 in mpbb.
