getting libgcrypt 64 bit install

[phil swenson]

very cool, I didn't know about this.  I ended up with the 64 bit libs
though, so I'm good there now.

> 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:
