New description:

 (seen with a ppc/i386 build on Leopard, I don't know if other universal
 builds fail the same way).

 libvpx/Portfile uses muniversal, but the package uses a custom configure
 script which doesn't recognize the --host=... argument.
 Consequently, merger_host should be set to "" for all archs. Portfile
 should have
 {{{
     foreach my_arch ${configure.universal_archs} {
         set merger_host(${my_arch}) ""

         set merger_configure_args(${my_arch})
 --target=$my_targets(${my_arch})-${os.platform}${os.major}-gcc
     }
 }}}
 instead of
 {{{
     foreach my_arch ${configure.universal_archs} {
         set merger_configure_args(${my_arch})
 --target=$my_targets(${my_arch})-${os.platform}${os.major}-gcc
     }
 }}}

Comment:

 Remember to use WikiFormatting.

 The universal variant work fine on Snow Leopard; I would not have
 committed it if I had not gotten it to work.

 Could you please attach a main.log of the failure you experience?
