Forced to use +universal

[Anthony Bak]

I set -universal in my variants.conf file but when I install
py27-wxpython it reinstalls many already installed packages in
+universal variants.  Is there a way to get packages to respect my
variants.conf file?

Here's the command that starts to pull in lots of new +universal variants.

$ port install py27-wxpython py27-graph-tool py27-networkx
