It should be possible to build the port on i386 with the 'ONLY_FOR' tag changed, however I dont recall that the hfsplus code was new enough to support case-sensitive filesystems. Testing would need to be done to verify what filesystems (hfs/hfs+/journal/case-sensitive) features would work with the hfsplus package if the macos partition was cleanly shut down (journal). If someone were to do this testing and post a diff to ports@ with such testing results, such diff would likely be accepted. Dale Rahn dr...@dalerahn.com
