Comment(by abarnert@…):

 I found a fix that seems to work for me, although I don't know if it's the
 right way to do things.

 Looking through the history, I found that a previous patch changed gdbm to
 "use muniversal". I don't know exactly what that means. Neither
 portgroup(7) nor the PortGroup section of the guide mentions muniversal.
 Googling macports.org turned up lots of discussion about past bugs with
 muniversal and patches to change specific ports to use it, but not an
 explanation of what/how/why it does. I started reading the portgroup
 definition in macports/sources, but it was too complex to figure out with
 a quick scan, so I figured I'd try to just un-muniversal the gdbm port and
 see if it works.

 I did this by removing the PortGroup line and the if universal block
 inside post-patch. That seems to have changed it back to doing a simple
 (-arch i386 -arch x86_64) universal build instead of separate builds plus
 a merge, and the result seems to work. The libs are universal, the same
 test program that I used with my /usr/local build above worked just as
 well with /opt/local, and I was able to build and run a few other ports
 (with +universal) that depend on gdbm.

 I'll attach the portfile.
