I just tried what you suggested for py27-numpy and it just activated without 
any error.  
So, myports.txt has 
  py27-numpy @1.11.3_0+gfortran (active) platform='darwin 15' archs='x86_64'

And, after the migration it had installed both that and the +universal variant. 
 
Yet, when I tried to activate the non-universal version it did it without 
complaint.  So, I really don’t understand why the +universal got built at all.
Any suggestions?
