port can't find required package 'pextlib'

[Jeffrey Van Myers]

1. Snow Leopard v. 10.6.2.

2. New install of MacPorts - package installed with no errors.

3. Ran: port -d selfupdate

4. Got:
------
dlopen(/opt/local/share/macports/Tcl/pextlib1.0/Pextlib.dylib, 10): no 
suitable image found.  Did find:
	/opt/local/share/macports/Tcl/pextlib1.0/Pextlib.dylib: no matching 
architecture in universal wrapper
     while executing
"load /opt/local/share/macports/Tcl/pextlib1.0/Pextlib.dylib"
     ("package ifneeded Pextlib 1.0" script)
     invoked from within
"package require Pextlib 1.0"
     (file "/opt/local/bin/port" line 40)
------

5. Checked macports-users Archives for last 6 months -- found nothing 
similar.

6. Verified opt/local Tcl lib directory:
------
$ cd /opt/local/share/macports/Tcl/
$ ls -la
total 0

drwxr-xr-x   4 root  admin  136 Mar 17 11:04 tclobjc1.0
------

7. Bottom line: the port script is unable to get past line 40, so is DOA.

Any suggestions?

Cheers,
