Yes, this is already the intention. MACHINE_ARCH is intended to be
normalised across pkgsrc, and doesn't have to match what the host OS
happens to report. SunOS also reports amd64 for "isainfo -k", but
still uses x86_64 correctly for MACHINE_ARCH.
It should be pretty easy to patch bmake or pkg_install to enforce what
bootstrap sets MACHINE_ARCH to in this case. If nobody is able to
I'll try to take a look, though my OpenBSD host is an octeon.
