I pushed some patches to mesa-7.2_branch a while back that will let it  
build with just 'make darwin' ... you can set RC_ARCHS="ppc i386" to  
make it build universal.  The 'INSTALL_DIR' sets the prefix, so you'll  
need to get the Portfile to do:

make darwin RC_ARCHS="ppc i386" INSTALL_DIR="${prefix}"
make install INSTALL_DIR="${prefix}" DESTDIR=...

I haven't even looked at mesa in macports right now, so I have no idea  
what state it's in, but I thuroughly simplified things upstream, so  
hopefully you can clean it up (if not, poke me, and I'll throw it in  
my queue).
