wxwidgets only supports 32-bit architectures i386 and ppc per as stated
in the option supported_archs in the Portfile. Thus, in order to build
this ports, all dependencies must be available in their 32-bit version.

I guess you have them all installed as 64-bit at the moment and thus,
port wants to add the 32-bit version by installing the +universal variant.

The only other option would be not to install wxwidgets at all (or make
it work with 64-bit).
