Among all the things I would like to discuss about this thread (but
not having much time at the moment to delve into them), just this small
note:

Incidentally, ports will not actually list +universal as a supported

This is strange:
-> grep universal PortIndex
(...)
variants {universal puredarwin darwin_6} depends_build port:pkgconfig
portdir devel/glib2 description (...)
(...)
-> port info glib2
glib2 2.12.9, devel/glib2 (Variants: puredarwin, darwin_6)
(...)
So the index *is* picking up the new universal variants but our info
command is not listing them, for some reason (and, in fact, the index
regen after Pauls's commit was *HUGE*!!!). Does 'info' not parse the
index (and somehow reach directly for the Portfiles)? I don't remember
at the moment... Now, as to whether or not we should list & advertise
these variants, I'd say no until we have them working right out of the
box for, at least, most ports (including corner cases) and Paul's work
is integrated in released code.
Just my thoughts,....
