devel/ode and devel/ode-devel ports are marked broken on
non-i386 archs (i.e. amd64, ia64), because ode fail to build
on these systems with following errors:
c++ -Iinclude -c -fno-exceptions -fomit-frame-pointer -O -pipe -I/usr/X11R6/include

Stop in /usr/ports/devel/ode.
After some investigation, I think I've solved the problem,
and it would be great to unbreak ode at last.
The build on 64 bit platforms fails because some 32 bit
assembly gets included in the ode/src/timer.cpp file.
That, on it's turn, happens because ode's configurator
(simple configure analogue written in C) has too weak
checking for `pentium compatibility' of host system - it
just tries to compile following assembly code: `mov $0,
%eax' as a test. That compiles well on 64 bit platforms,
but because addressing scheme is now 64bit, above-mentioned
errors occur when compiling ode's source itself.
The fix is to add a patch to configurator.c that makes
`pentium compatibility' test more strict. Thus, test will
fail on 64 bit ystems and i386 assembly won't be used (ode
will use more portable routines instead).
This patch is not well tested, as I myself have no 64 bit
machines in the vicinity, but it surely doesn't break ode
on x86 :)
I've mailed it to ode author, it's now also in ODE's CVS.
