Comment (by ryandesign):

 I'm sorry that you're having trouble building ports universal, but I
 cannot let a blanket statement that universal builds are "broken down as
 it is" stand. For many, many years, up to macOS 10.13, I kept "+universal"
 in my variants.conf and spent many, many hours making fixes to ports to
 ensure that they build universal. ppc i386 universal builds are of course
 different from x86_64 i386 universal builds, and when you are using
 gcc-4.2 that is of course a different compiler from clang which may result
 in different problems that need their own fixes.

 10.6 was not released for PowerPC; attempting to use a prerelease 10.6 PPC
 build may result in encountering other issues nobody else has encountered
 that you may need to investigate and submit fixes for, if you're
 interested.

 If freetype and fontconfig won't build universal (but their library
 dependencies do), then sure, you can file tickets for them.
