build.type gnu is the default; see the Guide. You don't need to list it.

You're basing this on the default values of universal_archs in macports.conf on those OS versions; the user could have changed them. Instead I think you should set configure.universal_archs to i386 ppc; I've done that in some other ports. Or maybe set supported_archs i386 ppc if the universal variant is set.

Why do they support x86_64 non-universal but not universal? Can the muniversal variant help alleviate whatever the universal issue is?
