I really was initially worried because there were some build issues.  Then, was also very curious why two different machines would not end up with the same universal or not, for the same set of ports.  It sounds like the answer, is that the variants that are installed depend on the install order.  The other reason that I considered is that when not installing the default versions the machine can’t use binaries, which is a nice convenience for install time etc.

That seemed to do the job.  
Just to be clear, for anyone else who is having this issue.  I had to force the uninstall:
sudo port -f uninstall libunistring
Then do the installs:
sudo port clean texlive-bin
sudo port  install texlive-bin

This install found gnutils to be a broken ports, and it fixed it by installing libunistring (default)
Then, I switched it to universal:

sudo port install -n libunistring +universal
(this also installed texlive-basic)

Finally, I was able to install wine-devel successfully:
sudo port install wine-devel

Thank you for all of the assistance getting it working.
