Comment(by mcalhoun@…):

 Replying to [comment:5 griff.rees@…]:
 > Cool. Thanks very much. Would there be any downside to me switching my
 universal build to _just_ 64_bit, and then rebuilding my whole system that
 way (thus just using the universal variant as a proxy for 64_bit)?

 Unfortunately, the answer depends on which ports your want to
 install.[[BR]]
 Some support universal builds and some do not.

 There is the additional wrinkle that special code gets invoked when there
 is just one architecture in the universal build.[[BR]]
 I am not sure what the motivation for it was, but it has caused problems
 at least
 [http://trac.macports.org/ticket/18187#comment:10 once before].[[BR]]
 For this reason, I would suggest that perhaps i386/x86_64 universal is a
 safer bet.

 Setting +universal in [http://guide.macports.org/#internals.configuration-
 files.variants-conf variants.conf]
 might make it easier to build everything as a universal.
