Ports that do not have any architecture-dependent files or requirements are identified by setting `NO_ARCH=yes`.
+Packages built from such ports have their architecture string ending in `:*` (wildcard architecture) as opposed to, for example, `freebsd:13:x86:64` (amd64 architecture).

[NOTE]
====
`NO_ARCH` is meant to indicate that there is no need to build a package for each of the supported architectures.
