Comment:

 The issue tracker is not for technical support; it's for bug reports and
 feature requests. Please ask questions about how to use MacPorts on the
 macports-users mailing list.

 You can either create a dedicated MacPorts installation that will be for
 arm64, and in that MacPorts installation edit macports.conf and set
 build_arch to arm64, or you can install ports with the +universal variant
 which will build ports that support both arm64 and x86_64.

 Of course, this only works for ports that can be compiled for arm64. Since
 Apple Silicon is still new, there are still many ports that cannot be
 compiled for Apple Silicon. These will either fail to build for arm64, or
 they will build for x86_64 instead, depending on how the port is set up.
 If you find ports that don't build for arm64, file bugs and/or pull
 requests.
