Comment (by kencu):

 And regarding the universal autogen issue: MacPorts has a "flaw" that is
 kinda hard to see how to work around.

 If you have no ports installed, and you type something like {{{sudo port
 -v install libsndfile +universal}}} then MacPorts will pass that
 {{{+universal}}} to all the build deps when they are being installed. For
 certain things, like gmake and cmake and similar, that is just not needed,
 but MacPorts is not able to understand that you don't need it
 {{{+universal}}} as it's just a build tool.

 However, if you already have installed gmake or cmake or whatever, non-
 universal, and then you type  {{{sudo port -v install libsndfile
 +universal}}}, MacPorts is smart enough to (usually) realize that you
 don't need those things built universal, and it will (usually) not try to
 make you rebuild them universal.

 I think this is just hard to fix. We have suggested certain fixes, like
 adding {{{depends-skip-archcheck}}} to the cmake PortGroup, etc, but so
 far these suggestions have been rejected as incomplete.

 So -- I guess you just have to know that, eventually.
