I think you might be over-interpreting Apple's choice with -O (and - 
g). Most configure-based software know how to configure their  
optimization options for both PPC and Intel  builds and if they  
don't, then the portfile needs to fix it anyway, even for non- 
universal builds. Unless I missed something....
