Looks liks using our tdlib isn't possible without patching, anyways,
so I'll just ignore that and stick with what upstream does.

- Your comment about i386 now explains why you limited support to two archs,
  but the port should just disable i386 explicitly (and more).

- ccache needs proper disabling;  USE_CCACHE is a user-setting and bulk builds
  run without it.  Having fixed that, it seems you are not building with
  PORTS_PRIVSEP=Yes, another requirement for bulks and strong recommendation
  to anyone.

- Similar thing with Git;  I used the right CMake knob, but I am not sure,
  whether the build system still makes use of it via scripts, etc.

- Take a look at 'make configure output' and what's in WRKBUILD before
  `make build` to see what other dependencies are required and/or picked up
  if present at build time.
  - I added libpng, apparently used for clipboard/image support.

- The final linker invocation only shows internal libraries being linked
  statically, all external ones are dynamically linked as confirmed by
  `make port-lib-depends-check`.

- I took the liberty to shorten COMMENT and DESCR a bit.


Below diff incorporates these changes and packages for me, however,
I might have missed something and also do not plan to use this myself,
so if this should be imported (before release), review and testing from
another developer using nchat would be appreciated.
