This port is ancient and only works on PowerPC Macs. See #12111. At that time, an error message was added for Intel Macs only; there were no Apple Silicon Macs. These days, we would not manually set an error message; we would use supported_archs ppc (or supported_archs ppc ppc64 if it also supports 64-bit PowerPC). Or if you know of a newer version of this software that works on Intel and/or Apple Silicon Macs let us know and we can try to update to it.

Pretty sure there's no newer version available. I think we might as well delete the port since it doesn't work on anything remotely recent.

I see thank you. Now you say that it makes more sense, thank you for explaining.

In 7f8f717df668fbbd14955e1771b8a4e3506772ad/macports-ports (master):

pgp: delete port

Only builds on ppc, and is exceedingly inadequate for present crypto
needs anyway.
