Bug 238721: misc/kdeedu: eliminate new dependency on openblas on !x86
https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=238721



--- Description ---
Recently, kdeedu gained a dependency on math/kig, which brings in some
heavyweight dependencies:

  devel/boost-python-libs
  devel/libunwind
  math/blas
  math/cblas
  math/lapack
  math/metis
  math/openblas
  math/py-numpy
  math/suitesparse

This is particularly painful on powerpc64, where openblas does not even build
(yet).

This patch turns on option KIG on x86 only.

The impact on arm is TBD.

(I will accept the argument that the optimal long-term solution is some kind of
kde5-lite port, but this is necessary in the meantime.)
