Good point - the issue with limiting it to sparc64 only is that this is
currently a ports-only architecture, so the package would have to go into the
"unreleased" repository, making it more tedious to maintain.
This was suggested by John:

I'd very much like to get it closer to a state that is acceptable for the XSF,
so any advice is appreciated.
I'm maintaining the package here:
