This happens when you are selecting to the "universal" variant. After some investigation it turned out to be the double -arch flag that gets generated the in config.mak you get one -arch for the current x86_64 and one for each of the architecture types.

A quick bypass is to edit config.mak manually and remove the unnecessary -arch flag. You need to do this for each architecture but the current. Then it will compile fine.

Eventually the port file need to be changed so this does not occur.

Current version seems fine.
