I don't believe the muniversal portgroup (or MacPorts) provides the ability to intercept in that manner.

However, the muniversal portgroup does make available a number of hash variables where you can set different options for different architectures -- for example merger_configure_env, merger_configure_args, merger_configure_cflags, etc. For example, consider the memcached port, which has these lines:

    set merger_configure_args(x86_64) --enable-64bit
    set merger_configure_args(ppc64)  --enable-64bit
