ps I do believe config.guess should be patched.

sure, but that's an upstream issue.

It seems bad form to leave
config.guess misreporting the architecture in this manner.

Do you have an example of a port (or class of ports) where this actually causes a real problem?

configure does lots of other stuff that's broken (testing for function availability with link tests instead of using feature test macros, inability to deal with multiple architecture builds in a sane way) - but that doesn't mean MacPorts should be fixing (or attempting to fix that).
