 PowerPC Tiger because [ticket:29860 mesa had been broken on PowerPC Tiger
 for quite awhile]. I have not tested on Intel. Hopefully most Intel users
 have upgraded to at least Snow Leopard since all Intel Macs support it and
 there's little reason not to do so, but there are definitely PowerPC Macs
 that do not support Leopard.

 Yes, this has prevented me to update xorg-server or xorg-server-devel on
 PPC Tiger. This week I started to update the Leopard and Tiger software
 for my PPC hardware ans thought of asking Jeremy how to deactivate the
 recent MESA version in MacPorts and how to switch to the old working
 version in order to be able to compile the X server. But then MESA built
 again...
