You have to have at least two. Macports comes with apple-gcc42. The  
Manifesto links to an apple-gcc42 portfile which you have to download  
and build.

If you're not planning on packaging then it's more hassle than it's  
worth. Just compile for the platform you have.

Universal binaries are those which have both ppc and i386 architecture  
information compiled in. Chances are you compiled only for you're  
platform previously and, pre-Manifesto, you have only ppc code. Now  
when you try to compile universal apps, any attempt to find i386  
versions will fail because you didn't install them previously.

If you wanted to compile with +universal you'd have to rebuild  
everything, to get all your programs to have universal binaries.
