Comment(by ryandesign@…):

 Suggestion: new port keyword "archs". By default, any arch is supported. A
 port like wine (which only works i386) would write "archs i386". A port
 like autoconf (which doesn't install any binaries) would write "archs
 noarch". A port like pango (which currently can't build 64-bit on Tiger)
 could write "platforms darwin 8 { archs i386 ppc }".

 "universal_variant no" should automatically happen if archs contains only
 one item.
