David, a simple ls to sys/pc98 shows that it is populated with lots of 
files.

% ls ~/FreeBSD/src/sys/pc98
CVS     apm     conf    i386    pc98

So that's not an argument against it.

Actually, I don't think it argues in favor of
sys/compile/${MACHINE}/FOO at all.  *ALL* ${MACHINE} ports must have a 
sys/${MACHINE} in the current scheme.  That's by definition.

I also think that as we get more and more ports for power pc, we'll
see more people that need/want to do cross compiling or having one
tree for multiple ports.
