Comment (by harens):

 Ah okay, thank you for explaining. That makes a lot of sense. The issue
 isn't to do with `uname -p`, it's just that the architecture hasn't been
 set in MacPorts base.

 Also, I really like that switch statement. I found a
 [https://stackoverflow.com/a/45125525 list] of some possible `uname -m`
 values, and thought I'd try to future proof the code a bit. Thoughts?

 {{{#!tcl
 switch -regexp -- $os_arch {
     {Power Macintosh} {
         set os_arch "powerpc"
     }
     {i[3-7]86} {
         set os_arch "i386"
     }
     {^(arm|aarch)} {
         # If the arch begins with arm or aarch
         set os_arch "arm"
     }
 }
 }}}
