Comment (by michaelld):
Yes! I've done this with quite a few ports and in my limited testing they
work the same on ARM64 as on x86_64. I use `gh` a lot, and it works quite
well on ARM64 with this small tweak to the Portfile. I'd love to see it
natively built, but there is a whole chain of dependencies to fix for
ARM64 ... so, this solution is way and by far the fastest to get ARM64
support for many current ports that otherwise will take months to get
working.
