Hi: I've just tested it, and I confirm that it works!! I installed neofetch and screenfetch using emerge, ran them successfully, and check portage configuration. I've checked the running translators using ps command. It's very curious that this port run with OpenRC instead Sysvinit (I didn't know that OpenRC was ported to the Hurd)
It's a good port. As next step, have you tried to port hurd-amd64? Great job and congrats!!
