I should also add that I looked at most of the ports using nasm and from
a quick look at them it seems most of them only have code for i386. But I
would check the ports on a amd64 box to make sure that with nasm installed
they either ignore nasm or if nasm is picked up but the code is for i386
that it doesn't break during compilation so you'll probably have to pass
some flag to disable the use of nasm,
