Comment (by kencu):

 There is always a bit of a leap from "works on my system" to "works in the
 main ports repo for everyone".

 I think you are to the stage now where you might pick a few of the simpler
 PPC fixes you have done, and actually take them all the way through the
 stage of generating the PR, facing down the corrections and fixes that
 will come, and getting it actually committed.

 Then you can start to add fixes for all these things.

 Keep them "tight" -- nobody wants to see a Portfile turned into a
 confusing mess of conditionals... but people will accept them if they can
 understand them and feel they are at least reasonably maintainable.

 Good luck!
