Comment:

 Hmm, the main.log shows that the configure phase of the x86_64 part of the
 universal build went fine, specifically it said:

 {{{
 :info:configure checking for tgetent in -ltinfo... no
 :info:configure checking for tgetent in -lterminfo... no
 :info:configure checking for tgetent in -ltermcap... yes
 }}}

 But the i386 part failed with:

 {{{
 :info:configure checking for tgetent in -ltinfo... no
 :info:configure checking for tgetent in -lterminfo... no
 :info:configure checking for tgetent in -ltermcap... no
 :info:configure checking for tgetent in -ltermlib... no
 :info:configure checking for tgetent in -lcurses... no
 :info:configure checking for tgetent in -lncurses... no
 :info:configure configure: error: libcurses or libncurses are required!
 }}}

 This suggests that maybe your ncurses port is not installed universal, or
 that something went wrong during its installation. Rebuilding the ncurses
 port may be needed. Before you do that though, could you please attach the
 file
 /opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_ports_devel_libedit/libedit/work/libedit-20120601-3.0-i386/config.log?
 Also, what is the output of the commands:

 {{{
 port -v installed ncurses
 lipo -info /opt/local/lib/libtermcap.dylib
 }}}
