 Or if there is a way to check whether G4 or G5 is being used, then make it
 conditional.

 Don't make it conditional. If you do that, then archives built on G4 and
 G5 would differ yet there would be no evidence of that difference in the
 installed port version+revision+variants and if we were to ever have a
 PowerPC build machine again, then the archive it produced would not be
 right for users whose machines had a different processor. Do use variants.
