 Happy new year to Macports team.

 Just a basic question, but important: can we cross-compile with Macports a
 Silicon target with Macports packages using an Intel based Apple computer
 ? Typically, i read on the web that Xcode can support this kind of task.

 As i know i can set arm64 as target binary in Macports config file, but
 the files generated still Intel binaries.

 Advantage: no need to buy a specific M1 computer to build a Silicon
 target.

 Thanks in advance
