No top-level ports/ file should contain anything specific like this.  
Not just not anything cpu-specific, but really anything but the build
boilerplate of being an add-on.  Any real part of the port sources should
be in a sysdeps directory.  As we've already seen, this hasn't been
possible before for all things, and making it so requires some changes.
As I've said, I'll help when such changes are necessary, but it'll start
when you propose something that solves your problem while meeting the
constraints I've set.

I think that's to counteract predefined -Di686 and the like making trouble.
So, probably not.
