I'm not running multi-platform with NFS mounted packages, but if I
were, I'd like to see something along the line of

/usr/local/arch/{bin,lib,etc}

so that I could do symlinks or NFS mounts of /usr/local to the correct
architecture.  My guess is that the FreeBSD folks don't care since
they're mostly all people running FreeBSD only, but I'd like to think
that Linux and NetBSD folk would want to take it into consideration
since they're both potentially supporting multiple platforms.
