Keeping in sync mingw-w64 in several Macs

[Ces VLC]

Hi!

I know Macports is designed for always having the latest version of every
port in your Mac, but however there are sometimes in which I want to have
exactly the same version of a port in all my Macs. One example is
mingw-w64, because I want to be able to exactly reproduce same Windows
executables no matter the Mac I'm using at the moment.

The problem is that whenever I buy a new Mac, I cannot install in it the
same Macports version that I have on an older Mac (and even if it was
possible, I admit it might be unsafe, because the latest Mac I just got
runs Sequoia, and my other Macs run older versions).

However, I'd be happy even running a Intel binary of mingw-w64 that was
compiled for an older MacOS, because even if it's Intel, it would run
through Rosetta, and I'm fine with that. But, AFAIK, Macports doesn't let
me "pack a binary" from one Mac and "unpack" it in another Mac. Or can it
be done?

I know that my best solution would be to build mingw-w64 myself, without
Macports. That way I'd have total control over its binaries. But I'm always
trying to avoid taking that direction, as it would need a lot of work and
planning. So, if there's any way for achieving what I want with Macports,
please tell!

Thanks!
César
