Comment(by dports@…):

 Unfortunately, texlive cannot build 64-bit binaries. Specifically, xetex
 uses ATSUI, a deprecated API that's not available for 64-bit builds. So,
 for now texlive needs to be built for i386 (and thus its dependencies have
 to be built universal).

 This is definitely not ideal and I'd love to find a better solution. This
 doesn't appear to have been fixed upstream. One possibility is to force
 XeTeX to use freetype for rendering instead of ATSUI, but I'm not sure
 what that would imply for font rendering.
