#63002: Strange message when reactivating port

One of the ports I needed to deactivate to get past 10.9 build failures on
an "upgrade outdated" was gpsbabel. When reactivating it after completing
the upgrade, I got these rather confusing messages:
{{{
MacPro:~ fw$ sudo port activate gpsbabel
Error: gpsbabel cannot be installed for the configured build_arch 'x86_64'
because it only supports the arch(s) '"i386 x86_64"'.
Warning: Failed to execute portfile from registry for gpsbabel @1.5.4_0
---> Activating gpsbabel @1.5.4_0
}}}
It claims that the activation worked in spite of the reported error, and
that seems to have been correct:
{{{
MacPro:~ fw$ port installed gpsbabel
The following ports are currently installed:
gpsbabel @1.5.4_0 (active)
}}}
And:
{{{
MacPro:~ fw$ gpsbabel -V
GPSBabel Version 1.5.4
}}}
Note that that's not the latest version, due to the build failure that
prompted the original deactivation.
I assume that this is a base issue, perhaps due to an interaction between
the old Portfile and the new base version.
