Comment (by mojca):

 No, `ppc` is there because MacTeX provides binaries for several
 architectures and it is in principle possible to switch between them
 (nowadays you could switch between `x86_64` and `universal`
 (=`i386`+`ppc`)). MacTeX installs it "just in case", but you wouldn't want
 to use PPC on 10.12 anyway. Providing symlinks for anything but the exact
 architecture(s) that MacPorts builds on that particular machine is
 useless.

 If you start working on texdist itself, please keep me in the loop.
