Comment (by chicagotripp):

 Thank you for all of your clarity. Here is the reasoning behind why I had
 choose to name the Portfile dmidecode-osx and why I had the master site
 listed. First, the actual dmidecode project supports Unix based systems
 but it doesn't support Mac OSX. There is a fork of dmidecode called
 dmidecode-osx that supports Mac OSX natively, as well. The problem is I
 have submitted a request to be added to their list so that I can submit
 the modifications that allow Mac OSX natively but the maintainers have not
 responded yet. I have intentions of creating the dmidecode Portfile and
 making the dmidecode-osx obsolete once it is added to the master branch of
 dmidecode. I had wanted the changes that would make the dmidecode have
 native support to be official and then create the port, but you have a
 point that only Mac users will be using this program so there is no need
 to have that distinction. Except wouldn't the work directory have the name
 dmidecode-osx and not the name of the portfile as dmidecode?
