for packages currently their will be two possible chain for the abi:
the abi defined here or any
any will be for scripts, data, etc.
I was thinking about giving a multi arch possibilities for packages for example:
arch: ["freebsd:9:x86:32", "freebsd:9:x86:64"]
when a package can be installed in both i386 and amd64
and maybe in the Makefile:
PKGARCH= i386 amd64
or
PKGARCH= x86:32 x86:64
not decided yet
for scripts:
PKGARCH= any
But I haven't decided yet :)
