PortSystem 1.0

platform darwin powerpc {
    source    ${filesdir}/Portfile-powerpc
} else {
    source    ${filesdir}/Portfile-intel
}

Of course you *can* do that, but be aware that the files dir is not available when executing portfiles from the registry (when running pre-/post- activate/deactivate/install/uninstall code.) So you'll get an error then. The situation when installing directly from a binary archive is similar.
