That means some redundancy in the code: the version number is maintained at
two places (mpost and mpost --version).

I might be missing the point, but I would be glad if -arch would not be set automatically if there is some better solution. Now it's really easy to cross-compile metapost, pdfTeX and LuaTeX for ppc on intel. If configure script would set the -arch unconditionally, then I would probably run into problems. But again - I might be misunderstanding the problem.
