Thanks for filing that ticket.
It looks like it has yet to be resolved, and I'm once again looking
to put lighttpd and php on my apple TV.
I'd be happy to help out if I knew how to add a universal variant
to cclient. Can anyone point me in the direction of relevant
information? I'm guessing there's some flag that must be inserted
into a file so that when +universal is selected the flag is added
to the commands that compile cclient, but I'm not sure how to go
about this.
Thanks for any help or info.

I'm sorry Paul hasn't responded to that ticket. He must be busy with
other things. Or he may have forgotten the ticket. You could email
him and ask.
I also filed this ticket requesting cclient be updated to the current
version:

Software that's written in "the usual way" can be built universal
without any special additions; just follow this document:
http://developer.apple.com/technotes/tn2005/tn2137.html
MacPorts internally uses the method described in "Configuring for
universal binaries" to build universal ports. Some software can't be
built universal using those steps. In that case, someone (e.g. the
port maintainer, you, another volunteer) must figure out why and how
to fix it. Maybe a file (e.g. configure script, Makefile, libtool)
can be patched in some way to pass the correct parameters along. In
other cases, the build must be repeated once for each architecture
and the result glued together with the lipo program. See the openssl
and cairo ports for examples of this. MacPorts has no support for
this mechanism built in, so ports that need this mechanism get rather
convoluted.
