Sorry, ImageMagick cannot be built universal when you use the +gs variant, because as you've noticed ghostscript does not have a universal variant. If you want ghostscript support, don't use the universal variant. If you want the universal variant, don't request ghostscript support.

The ImageMagick port does not globally need "universal_variant no" because the universal build works fine when you do not use the +gs variant. I could add "universal_variant no" to the gs variant only. But the existing error message is clear enough about what the problem is, no? It places the blame correctly on the ghostscript port. Anyway, I'd rather the ghostscript port be fixed to have a universal variant. *That* deserves a bug report. This one may cover it:
