Why don't we instead change the base Makefile so that it builds  
universal (for 10.3.9 on PPC, for 10.4u on i386). That way, you get a  
universal build no matter how you do it, whether through the MacPorts  
Portfile, manually, or via selfupdate. This would also address  
Rainer's concerns from earlier, which may be a valid point (that  
selfupdate would make it non-universal again) (though I haven't  
tested whether this is really the case) (though I could see that it  
might be):
