what setting to use to force only arm64 (Apple Silicon) binaries/libraries, no universal ports?

Hi Joshua;

  That helps greatly; I'll make that change in macports.conf.

  But, is there a way to prevent x86_64 and amd64 ports from being
installed? If it is a port that I want but it does not support arm64,
I think I'd rather skip it if at all possible.

Thanks,
Ken Wolcott
