Wow, great news! That's one of the very few things for which I still
have too keep a Windows machine around.
The port builds without problems on i386, and the game starts ok.
It all seems to run smoothly. I say 'seem', since I'm still waiting for
worldgen to complete, but I'm confident.
Thanks for the ports -- this was actually the tipping point which
finally convinced me that it's now about time to upgrade... :o)
