I have written a port for ophcrack, a windows password cracker. See http://trac.macports.org/projects/macports/ticket/11114

Ophcrack doesn't work on powerpc machines, I think it's because of endianness issues. I have written a post-main (see http:// trac.macports.org/projects/macports/attachment/ticket/11114/ Portfile) that checks for intel processor and exits with an error if it fails. Is it a good idea ? Is there a better/standard way to deal with port supporting only specific architectures ?

You can use the platform variants:

platform powerpc {
        stuff that only gets run on PPC machines
}

platform i386 {
        stuff that only gets run on i386 machines
}

Macports (base) will automatically run the variant that matches the machine it's running on.
