General note, MacPorts does not build everything from source anymore, and it hasn't for a while. MacPorts will try to find a precompiled binary on packages.macports.org, then fall back to building from source if a binary is not available.
That said—while I don't know whether ARM actually works yet, MacPorts still supports PowerPC wherever possible, so they have a long history of managing multiple architectures. I expect they'll have a somewhat easier time with ARM as a result.

Edit: MacPorts does indeed support ARM as of the latest release! https://lists.macports.org/pipermail/macports-announce/2020-...
