Replying to [comment:3 mojca]:
> How on earth do you even install 10.6 on PPC?
Presumably this is referring to running 10.6 developer previews (or the
PowerPC-compatible portions of them): https://forums.macrumors.com/threads
/snow-leopard-on-unsupported-ppc-machines.2232031/
In addition to this being an ongoing community effort, there are likely
“legal” issues which may prevent its use by MacPorts in any official way,
including how the developer previews are obtained from file sharing sites
rather than directly from Apple, and that (to my knowledge) the licensing
terms of prerelease versions of macOS which restrict their use to
registered developers and/or public beta participants do not expire upon
the generally available release.
