Comment (by ryandesign):

 We shouldn't close the ticket because at least one of the problems still
 exists, namely that ld64-274 links with the MacPorts libxar.dylib without
 declaring a dependency on port:xar.

 The second problem was:

 > When I try to [install the universal variant of xar], MacPorts first
 tries to install the universal variant of ld64-274 which of course fails

 That would be a dependency cycle. If that still exists, it has to be
 resolved one way or another. (Either ld64-274 cannot use xar or xar cannot
 use ld64-274.)
