Does it have a 64bit processor?

Apparently MacPorts was configured for 32bit only when you installed it, but somehow ImageMagick wants to be built for 64bit only.
I don't see anything in the Portfile that causes that, so maybe it's ImageMagick itself that enforces that choice.
You'd probably need to file a ticket on trac for that.
