Comment (by ryandesign@…):

 The problem is not that /usr/lib/libncurses.5.dylib has no matching
 architecture in universal wrapper. The problem is that
 /opt/local/lib/libreadline.6.dylib is still referencing
 /opt/local/lib/libncurses.5.dylib. It needs to be rebuilt so that it will
 properly reference /opt/local/lib/libncurses.6.dylib.

 It is indeed possible that if you had the gawk port installed, then it
 could cause this problem. I don't understand, however, in what way
 MacPorts is unusable after deactivating or uninstalling gawk, since that
 is the solution I would have suggested. Can you elaborate?
