I don't think portability is a major concern for open source projects.
If it runs on GNU/Linux (i386 and maybe amd64), it's usually good
enough.

It's generally very hard to tell what makes a project successful. I
used to think that the cathedral-like development style favored by
AdaCore was part of the problem, but there still are some similarly
structured projects which have got quite a following.
