Install 32-bits ports on Snow Leopard

Install 32-bits ports on Snow Leopard I recently upgrated to Snow Leopard and (in order to avoid a lot of problems) I'm running it on 32-bits mode. In spite of this, as almost all SL native applications are 64-bits, it seems to run on a kind of mixed mode (64-bit applications running in parallel with 32-bit apps).

"You should edit your macports.conf file (in /opt/local/etc/macports/). Activate the build_arch line, setting it to:

build_arch i386

This will force i386 (32-bit) builds rather than the default for your architecture, which is x86_64 (64-bit)."
