There are actually many situations that result in the default universal variant not being available:

 * universal_variant no
 * use_configure no
 * supported_archs noarch

In addition, ports can include any number of portgroups, and any of those portgroups could change the behavior. For example, they could disable the universal variant if it is known that all ports of that class of ports cannot be built universal.

Portgroups and individual ports can also add a custom universal variant, if the default one won't work.
