I've just set up a Cygwin64 system. It seems I can run a 32bit Cygwin

Yes.
Anyway, I've tried to compile a few packages, but cygport gives me
grief: it somehow doesn't pick up the version and release from new-style
cygport files and defines P == PN == PV etc. I'll look into this later,
but I thought I mention it here in case it indicates some problem with
the installation.
I recall something like this happening when I first switched to the
new-style cygport files. The problem turned out to be that I wasn't
giving the full name of the cygport file in the command line. If your
file is `foo.cygport', you have to type
cygport foo.cygport ...
You can't omit the `.cygport' suffix.
