I think scientific users want not universal (i386 and ppc) but 64-bit (x86_64 and ppc64) if they have a 64-bit machine. If a package is build for all the four (i386 x86_64 ppc ppc64), there will be not problem but it is not always easy to support this. For example source in fortran is problem

Currently there are only a few ports with 64bit variants: nbench-byte +use_64_bit ubench +use_64_bit judy +bit64 john-devel +use_64_bit (john-devel was updated with 64bit support by me, picking the more common name). Before there are many more ports with such variants, we need to decide on a
