Description

I believe this is what would be desired in nearly all cases.

If it is not desired or available, the universal variant could be explicitly disabled, which I would assume to be the rare case.

It is my understanding that the using PortGroup muniversal would override this setting, if it is included.

No, this is not desired. The portfile author is responsible for adding the necessary code to the portfile, and/or patching the build system, so that the correct -arch flags are used. Each build system is different so MacPorts shouldn't make assumptions. Just defaulting to providing a universal variant would result in tons of ports that claim to build universal but do not.
