Or another buildbot which would try to build all the ports as universal ;)
(or i386-only when 64-bit cannot be built ;)

Yes, I'm aware that this would mean a lot of extra resources, but it
would be great to have at least some huge packages built with
+universal flag.

When I tried to install TextMate2, the bottleneck was compiling
clang-3.2. I didn't request +universal variant and I don't have any
setting which would install +universal by default, so I'm not sure why
it wanted recompilation from source.
