This issue is now being tracked in https://trac.macports.org/ticket/31678

As we already discussed in the ticket you filed about the first such port you encountered, the behavior is consistent with the above ports having been installed prior to the release of MacPorts 1.9 on 2010-06-08. That's the first version that recorded architecture information in the registry; without that information, MacPorts doesn't know for what architectures the ports are installed, so it assumes they're installed for the correct architectures. Perhaps it might be better for MacPorts to assume the ports are installed for the wrong architectures and rebuild them, but it does not currently do that.
