Thanks for clarifying this.

Great! Thanks for taking the time to improve my sketch. I’ve noted the way you 
ask for another port registry. Ideally, we should get rid of that check if the 
PostgreSQLxx ports are updated to strip arch flags from PGXS scripts. But as 
long as this bug is not fixed…

Btw, this leads me to another question: is it possible to specify that a ports 
depends on either another port or a third one; e.g. something like: 
“depends-lib postgis, postgis2” that would specify one of the two, at the 
user’s leisure.

Cheers and thanks again!
Vincent
