Comment(by ryandesign@…):

 pdftk installs in about 5 minutes on my 2.2-GHz MacBook Pro, but takes 2
 hours 15 minutes on my 466-MHz Power Mac G4. But several days sounds
 excessive.

 Note that pdftk has a couple variants for choosing a compiler. On my G4 I
 happened to use the gcc42 variant; you might want to try that instead of
 the default gcc45 variant. It seems to me that older GCCs work better on
 PowerPCs and with older Mac OS X versions than newer GCCs do.
