:archname in MASTER_SITES and DISTFILE_* is just a label.
It is to pair the name of the distfile with the URL to download it. (5.4.9 in
Porter's Handbook)
There is no specific explanation for DISTFILES_aarch64, but there is a branch
on it in Mk/Uses/linux.mk.
${ARCH} contains the result of uname -p. FreeBSD for ARM seems to return the
result "aarch64".
So, where ${ARCH} is used, it must be aarch64.

Other automatically defined values and their default values are described in
Mk/bsd.port.mk.
We can use a command like "make -V WRKSRC" to see what values are in it.

Hmm, I don't really understand it :)
epson-inkjet-printer-escpr2 is working for the person who wanted to use it, so
I am not involved any further :)

If we want executable-binary to use linux-shared-library, it does not matter
where it is in the storage, but the brand of elf must be LINUX.
In other words, the binary compiled and linked for FreeBSD is not supposed to
be able to use non-free plugin...maybe :)
It seems better to install non-free plug-ins, including core.

epson-inkjet-printer-escpr2 is just a filter to assemble the raster image, and
CUPS will pass the rest to the printer device.
epsonscan2 looks like a binary trying to touch the scanner device directly.
I don't know if a Linux binary can directly touch FreeBSD devices.
