No; the MacPorts default build_arch is x86_64 on Yosemite, but the user can override it by changing build_arch to i386 in macports.conf. In this case, the user probably didn't meant to do that, he just imported a pre-Snow Leopard Intel MacPorts installation onto his Yosemite Mac, and should now fully follow the Migration instructions to set things right.
