"port -v installed" shows you what architecture(s) MacPorts intends to have built each port for (though that's no guarantee that's the architecture the port was actually built for) (and this information is only recorded if the port was built with MacPorts 1.9 or greater).

To see what architecture(s) a file was actually built for, use "lipo -info" on it, for example:

lipo -info /Library/Filesystems/fusefs.fs/Support/fusefs.kext/Contents/MacOS/fusefs
