Comment(by ryandesign@…):

 Dale, any ideas? If you can't explain why your ncurses is i386-only
 (migration from a pre-Snow Leopard Intel Mac still seems likely to me),
 then you could simply rebuild it; it should be x86_64 this time:
 {{{
 sudo port -n upgrade --force ncurses
 }}}
 However, if you don't know why ncurses is i386, it's possible other ports
 are inadvertently installed i386 as well. You may have a less-problematic
 future if you uninstall this questionable MacPorts installation
 (instructions are in the
 [http://guide.macports.org/#installing.macports.uninstalling guide]) and
 then reinstall it.
