Why does this need to be a new port, then?

Did you try running a Debian/amd64 chroot on it, or even just
a couple of statically linked binaries, to verify that? Or is
there a documented CPU difference that makes sharing a common
port unwiedly (like m68k/coldfire) or impossible (powerpcspe)?

More information could be useful ;)

If the support is already in the toolchain, you'd probably not
even need to patch it to support the port, though…
