No, there is certainly no need to do that. The purpose of the migration process
is to assist you in moving a MacPorts installation from one computer to another
where those computer differ by OS version and/or architecture.
MacPorts is probably installing tiff universal because something you wanted to
install cannot be compiled for arm64, so MacPorts will compile it for x86_64,
and its dependencies must therefore be installed universal, and one if its
dependencies is tiff.
