Comment (by kencu):

 Fixing MacPorts and the newer toolchains to work for the 10.6-on-PPC folks
 was (briefly) a fun quickie project, but MacPorts as a whole should stay
 100,000 km away from this, of course.

 Not to mention is it appears to be a total mess of a system to work with
 (being neither 10.5 nor 10.6), and AFAICT has no advantage over 10.5.8 PPC
 anyway, other than the system reporting it is 10.6.

 All the stuff I would want in 10.6 that does not exist in 10.5 either
 doesn't exist in 10.6-for-PPC or has never been shown to work.
