Either mail to maintainer, or to list + maintainer, is good. Please send unified diffs (preferably cvs diff -u or git diff against either the main repository or the conversion on github.com/openbsd). Re the altivec one, if it works, using ports-gcc would be better than hardcoding CC=gcc to use the old base compiler that hasn't been removed yet but afaik nothing should be using.
