I can't explain why this is happening for you. pkgconfig, libiconv,  
gettext, glib2, zlib -- they can all be built universal. They do get  
built universal when I request it. I just tried in a fresh MacPorts  
install on Snow Leopard and it works fine. I'll paste my output at the  
bottom of this email. There are differences between my output and yours:

1. Your output keeps stating "Computing dependencies for" before every  
dependency; I've only ever seen that shown as the very first line for  
the port you requested, not for the dependencies.

2. Your output starts with "Configuring pkgconfig" -- what happened to  
fetching, verifying checksums, and extracting? Maybe the port was not  
clean.

3. Your output shows these ports being installed: pkgconfig, libiconv,  
gettext, glib2, zlib, atk. My output shows many more ports and in a  
different order: expat, gperf, libiconv, ncursesw, ncurses, gettext,  
perl5.8, perl5, pkgconfig, glib2, atk, zlib, etc. Did you actually  
type "sudo port install gtk2 +universal" or did you separately install  
each port?

4. My universal build is x86_64/i386 because I am on Snow Leopard.  
Yours shows ppc/i386 so I assume you are on Leopard or Tiger? On what  
kind of computer? Are you using MacPorts 1.8.0 or some version from  
trunk? Do you have any variants specified in variants.conf? If so,  
what are they?

"port deps pkgconfig" shows it has no dependencies at all. If it had  
any, they would have been built before pkgconfig, not after.

If a port has a universal variant, and you request the universal  
variant, it should get installed with the universal variant. MacPorts  
makes no distinctions here based on the type of dependency.

I have not observed that behavior before. If you specify a variant on  
the command line, or in variants.conf, any port that gets installed,  
whether directly by you or indirectly as a dependency, should use that  
variant (if applicable).


My output, after installing a fresh MacPorts in the prefix /michael  
and pointing it at my distfiles and portfiles:
