Any other suggestions on how to globally set arch types?  I can always revert back to using a 'proc' that is sets the option/global, which would then be correctly set & available for use.

Seems like it's working as expected to me. Can you give an example
portfile that demonstrates the problem?

The options proc sets up the proc with the same name as the variable
that can be used to set it, and also the -append/-delete procs. Options
can also have defaults. (As things stand 'default' would probably work
on any variable, but that's an implementation detail that shouldn't be
relied upon.)
