Although it hasn't been tested recently, you may be able to compile for 32-bit only using by setting "ARCH=i386 CC=gcc-4.0 CXX=g++-4.0".

Note that basically the only difference between bsd-port and macosx-port at the moment is universal binary support, so the result won't be very interesting anyway.
