That's definitely the question, as it shouldn't be doing that.  It shouldn't
be what you have for build_arch in macports.conf as I tried that, and
MacPorts.dylib was still x86_64 after a selfupdate.

What is the result from the following commands?

$ ls -l /usr/bin/gcc*
$ port installed "gcc*"

Also, did you run selfupdate from the shell, or where you in port's
interactive mode?
