depends_run should ignore +/- universal?!

The freetype +infinality variant will have a runtime dependency freetype-infinality, a (sub)port that serves mostly to introduce the versioning information for the Infinality patches, but also installs a few text files. It is thus pointless to distinguish between universal and non-universal for that subport, because of its nature and because of the kind of dependency. It thus has "universal_variant no" in the subport definition block, but I left the muniversal PortGroup definition at the global level.

Just because a dep is only needed at runtime doesn't necessarily mean
its archs don't have to match. For example, some programs will use
dlopen to load a library and not require it to be present at build time.

In this case it sounds like you should perhaps mark freetype-infinality
as noarch.
