Take a look at the source code
(http://svn.contextgarden.net/minimals-src/build-binaries/build-binaries.sh).
It's done with lipo.

# generates universal binaries for osx
call_lipo() {
	command="lipo -create $BUILDDIR/bin/osx-intel/current/$1/$2
$BUILDDIR/bin/osx-ppc/current/$1/$2 -output
$BUILDDIR/bin/osx-universal/current/$1/$2"
	# display
	echo "$command"
	#execute
	mkdir -p "$BUILDDIR/bin/osx-universal/current/$1"
	svn add -q --depth=empty "$BUILDDIR/bin/osx-universal/current/$1"
	do_cmd "combine intel & ppc binaries for $2" $command
	svn add -q "$BUILDDIR/bin/osx-universal/current/$1/$2"
}

We don't use those binaries yet, so maybe we are never going to use
them at all (you may skip that step, just make sure that there will be
binaries for intel and ppc, possibly working on ... tiger?). Or make
it work on leopard and wait for the first one to complain :)
