Installing the universal variant of gnumeric will surely fail unless  
you have already compiled all gnumeric's dependencies as universal.

No port should need to be built universal in order to function  
properly. Its default installation should work properly in virtually  
all cases.

I'm not familiar with Porticus.

Are you selecting the universal option? If so, do you need to be  
selecting that option? That is, do you intend to use your installed  
ports on both a PowerPC Mac and an Intel Mac? If not, you don't need  
the universal variant.


Just to make sure the files already on your hard drive are of the  
correct architecture, can you show us the output of these commands?  
You can just copy and paste them all at once into the Terminal:
