I've been trying That depends on the port - most ports will compile and run on most architectures but there are exceptions - for example: > to install /ports/lang/cmucl. I hope there is a solution. A look in the Makefile in ports/lang/cmucl reveals: # To make available on other archs, has to be cross-compiled (there is a # script for this, but a configuration file has to be written). IA32_BINARY_PORT= yes It looks like there is a solution that needs some work, somebody has to write a configuration file for cross compiling - and understand that comment in more detail than I do.
