This will show you the ports marked IGNORE:
http://www.freshports.org/ports-ignore.php

This will detect and use your browsers architecture to find ports you
cannot use. Mind you, it can be IGNOREd for other reasons than your
current architecture)

I tend to look at ONLY_FOR ARCHS statements in port makefiles:

  find /usr/ports/ -type f -name Makefile -exec grep -H 'ONLY_FOR_ARCHS' {}=
 \;

Any port that doesn't have one of those should run on every
architecture. But I doubt is this info is complete for rare
architectures as ia64 or sparc. It should be OK for amd64, because
that's relatively common.
