Comment (by ryandesign@…):

 Replying to [comment:23 adfernandes@…]:
 > Can someone tell me what the `muniversal` port group setting will do if
 it tries to merge libraries that exist for the x86_64 platform and a
 nonexistent file (for i386)? Does it just install the one file, or will it
 error?

 If a file exists in only one arch, it will be copied. If a file exists in
 more than one arch, they will be merged, or an error will be printed if
 they cannot be merged.

 > This will be one l-o-n-g install compile time. Hmm... and difficulty for
 me to test, since I don't build universal...

 It shouldn't be difficult to test; just "sudo port install boost
 +universal". It may of course take some time to recompile the dependencies
 universal, but MacPorts will do so automatically, so all you have to do is
 wait.
