I am on 32-bit Intel and I have gmp 4.2.1_4 installed, as a  
dependency of gcc42. I have no idea how to test whether it's working  
properly. Well, I could run "port test" I guess. I could try the  
upgrade on Intel and if it works I'll post a patch and someone on  
PowerPC can try it.

I made a ticket:

I don't believe we have any provisions in base for universal 32/64  
builds. If that would be nice, then we should do it in base,  
shouldn't we?
