You appear to have found a bug in apr-util. Please file a ticket in trac.

Why are you using +universal if you only need a single-architecture
build? Changing universal_archs to contain only one architecture makes
no sense.

If you install without +universal, ports are built for $build_arch. See
<http://guide.macports.org/chunked/internals.configuration-files.html#internals.configuration-files.macports-conf>.
