Comment:

 Yes, wine ports in MacPorts are compiled for 32-bit only, based on this
 statement on why 64-bit Windows apps cannot run in Wine on macOS:

 https://www.winehq.org/wwn/364#Wine64%20on%20Mac%20OS%20X

 Nevertheless, wine apparently compiles 64-bit on macOS now and may work
 for some Windows programs; the developers offer separate 32-bit and 64-bit
 macOS binaries for wine. I have not yet attempted to build the wine ports
 64-bit and don't know what would happen if we did that. Can a 32-bit
 Windows program run in 64-bit wine? If not, most users would probably want
 to build wine universal.
