Regarding armadillo,

- could you please follow the usual layout of Makefile.template, and use
tabs for alignement? I find this Makefile hard to review, especially
with the location of DISTNAME...

- CONFIGURE_STYLE is not needed

- cmake says

-- Checking for module 'hdf5'
--
-- HDF5_FOUND =

so might pick up math/hdf5 if present (you already noticed, it seems)
It also looks for something called "superlu" but we have no port for
it (yet).

- does not build with base-gcc but I see no compiler annotations.
This needs COMPILER = base-clang ports-gcc.
