There is a patch to update the perforce port to 06.1 that has not been
assigned to the maintainer.  I just did that so it can be commited in a
few days if there is no response from him.  You couls easily apply the
patch to your local portfile to try it now if you wish.  However, perforce
is released as separate tarballs for PPC and Intel so presumably it will
only work on PPC unless the portfile is reworked some more or the perforce
developers unify the releases.
