If you think that the manpages need those links, then I can't
think of any particularly better way of doing it.

Uh, shouldn't this be
${LN} -sf ${PREFIX}/man/man1/vice.1 ${PREFIX}/man/man1/x64.1
etc.

I trust these patches are, of course, submitted to the original
maintainers... :-)

No. This should be
"A versatile Commodore 8-bit emulator."
or just
"Versatile Commodore 8-bit emulator."
I don't know why we put a period there, but... ;-)

May we distribute these files (I seem to remember that frodo (or
whatever other emulator) isn't distributed for the same reason)?
Do we need to add RESTRICTED?

If you'd tried running portlint before submitting the port, it
might have told you that pkg/DESCR is too long. That'd be
because you don't need to include this NOTE. I don't believe any
of the other ports that also cause gcc to grow large, Large,
LARGE, include similar notes. I think pkg/DESCR is used more by
people who are installing from binary packagers than by people
who are building the ports themselves.
