Most ports will "just work", because there's a default +universal variant.
Otherwise look for ports using the muniversal PortGroup, I think.
Unfortunately, for things that don't "just work", the changes needed tend
to be very port-specific; and there's far more ports that just disable
universal builds than tweak it to work, in at least some cases because
untangling the changes needed for universal builds turned out to be too
difficult / not worth the effort.
