libgcrypt, like most ports, has no particular architecture restrictions, and will build for whatever architectures you tell it to.

On Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard and earlier, ports build 32-bit by default (i386 on Intel Macs, ppc on PowerPC Macs). On Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard and later, ports build 64-bit by default (x86_64).

The fact that you claim libgcrypt in MacPorts is 32-bit suggests you are on Leopard or earlier. If you like you can build ports "universal" -- for multiple architectures. The default universal setting on Leopard and earlier is ppc i386, but you can change this, for example to i386 x86_64. Simply change the universal_archs line in macports.conf. Then try reinstalling libgcrypt with the universal variant:

sudo port upgrade --enforce-variants libgcrypt +universal

You should end up with a libgcrypt that contains both i386 and x86_64 architectures, so that if your VPN client requires 64-bit, it should work.
