Ryan,
I don't believe that will be possible with the way the muniversal portgroup is written today. Looking in muniversal-1.0.tcl, I see its configure phase runs a loop over all requested architectures, and in that loop, it copies the worksrcpath to a new worksrcpath with a name based on the arch, sets up variables and flags, and then calls configure_main from MacPorts base. The muniversal portgroup doesn't do anything to change how pre-configure or post-configure are handled, so MacPorts base continues to handle this, which means pre- configure and post-configure only run once, not once per architecture. Also, since the actual worksrcdirs that will be used by configure are not created until the configure phase, they don't exist yet in pre-configure, so you can't do anything to them there.
That's about the same thing I saw. I tried to add a pre-configure phase in muniversal, but it seems it is not called by the main interface, contrarily to other phases. I had not thought about the configure phase creating directories, but that can easily be switch from configure to some earlier phase.
Are these C source files you're patching? If so, is there maybe a way to achieve what you want by using a patch which uses the __LP64__ #define?
Have a look at the atlas portfile, you'll see. No, that's a Fortran configuration file.
