You could override it, in pandoc or in the PortGroup:

What architecture is the pandoc binary you end up with though? It seems unlikely that an x86_64 stack would generate an arm64 binary, and if it generates an x86_64 binary, calling it arm64 is wrong.

The situation with arm64 and x86_64 is almost the same as x86_64 and i386 on earlier systems. Suppose port A depends on port B and B sets a supported_archs that doesn't include $new_arch. If A uses B in such a way that its architecture matters, like if A's executable links with B's library, then A usually needs to set the same supported_archs as B. This is because you can't mix archs in an executable. (Yes, universal binaries exist, but only the slice for one architecture can actually be loaded into a given process.)
