 I have finished my investigation of this issue. and It seems that the
 linux ports are to blame. they overwrite ARCH on multiple occasions when
 MACHINE_ARCH=amd64. This causes issues with other ports, such as the
 distfiles are unable to be fetched. I have written numerous patches[1]
 and tested them in my own environment. All is now working as expected. I
 have CC'd the freebsd-emulation list on this email, as I would like
 others to see/test these patches. Once again, these will only effect
 systems running FreeBSD with an amd64 ARCH. Please contact me with any
 questions/concerns.
 
 Regards,
