AFAIUI, the yasm package should be available on any architecture. You
can build libav without it, but you'll miss a number of important
architecture specific optimizations. For m86k, I doubt that there are
any, so I'm confident that you can drop that dependency  for debian
ports. Possibly you might have to pass --disable-yasm to the configure
script (I'm not sure).
