I suggest to copy ONLY_FOR_ARCHS from lang/zig to devel/llvm/20,
perhaps with a comment like, "only for lang/zig".

This would also enable devel/llvm/20 for powerpc64.  I do bulks for
powerpc and powerpc64, and would be fine with building llvm 20 for
powerpc64 (a fast arch), but want to avoid building llvm 20 for
powerpc (a slow arch).  A powerpc64 package of llvm%20 would be useful
if someone is trying to unbreak zig.
