I already see one linux port for which the above additions are
insufficient, namely, graphics/linux-jpeg:

PORTNAME=   jpeg
PORTVERSION=    6b.15
PORTREVISION=   3
CATEGORIES= graphics linux

MAINTAINER= freebsd-emulation at FreeBSD.org
COMMENT=    RPM of the JPEG lib

RPM_SET=    libjpeg-6b-15.${MACHINE_ARCH}.rpm
                          ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
.include "../../x11-toolkits/linux-gtk/Makefile"
