Comment (by kencu):

 FWIW, all versions of clang are unable to build anything useful on PPC,
 G3, G4, or G5 -- the PPC code generator in LLVM is broken when it comes to
 the Darwin PPC ABI.

 G3 altivec hiccups appear to be a port-by-port issue, like this flag added
 in clang-3.4 assuming altivec, or the broken cmake system altivec test in
 libjpeg-turbo. It is not a general MacPorts issue, although no doubt
 you'll find more ports that assume altivec if they support ppc at all.
