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...
