 > In case someone has a similar problem: I had to first run sudo port
 install portname and then run sudo port upgrade --enforce-variants
 portname +universal for each package.

 It should be sufficient to initially install the ports with the +universal
 variant; upgrading with --enforce-variants is only necessary if you
 already have the ports installed without +universal. Of course, by the
 time you see wine-devel's message, the dependencies will already have been
 installed with the wrong architectures. Unfortunately it is not possible
 for the wine-devel portfile itself to do anything until its dependencies
 have been installed. A better solution to this could probably be
 implemented in MacPorts base.

 > Would it be a bad idea to make "+universal" a default variant?

 That might be useful starting with Snow Leopard. I
 [http://lists.macosforge.org/pipermail/macports-
 dev/2009-September/009724.html suggested this] on the mailing list and
 have done so on my machine, but this has revealed just how many ports have
 trouble building x86_64/i386 universal, which is quite a lot. So that's
 not a good idea at this time.

 > Or would this be better handled by a mechanism to automatically handle
 such cases by either informing the user that they must rebuild specific
 ports as universal,

 I added advice to rebuild dependencies universal to the archcheck
 portgroup in r59112.

 > or automatically rebuilding the required ports as such?

 That and the above are handled by request #20728.
