We already share a few install sets across all powerpc ports so that 
shouldn't be a problem.

There are, for instance pkgsrc/sysutils/afbinit is strictly sparc(64). 
And all Xservers are hardware-specific to some degree ( they differ in 
details like the exact method to access PCI I/O space ) but that's 
probably not much of a concern on macppc.
