Should I encourage people to file bug reports, or do you only want bugs relating to the supported platforms in there?

I agree.

To further add to what Chris said, note that contributions to support a port don't need to remain in a fork before the platform becomes "officially supported".  We'd prefer that the necessary work to support a port happens in the main repository if possible.  People can use forks to do experimentation, etc., but once the bring up starts reaching some critical mass I think it is valuable to get those changes into the main repository long before the port is "done".
