not every package supports all architectures.  most packages come from
FreeBSD, so we know that they work on i386 :-)  since the package
maintainers don't have access to mac68k machines (as far as i know), they
can't always guarantee that a machine-dependent package will work on a
particular architecture.

i'm sure the package maintainers would like to know about it.  please send
in your patches via send-pr or the send-pr web page.

thanks!
