 So it seems that at least the PortGroup is behaving as intended (cold
 comfort for some).

 Touche.[[BR]]
 Any ideas on how to accomplish such a thing?

 Personally, I would not object to allowing Intel/PowerPC universal to fade

 The concept has always had a difficult time fitting in with the MacPorts
 model of "download, compile, and run."

 I do not think the maintainer of these ports has weighed in on this issue.
