Comment (by kencu):

 Well, I wasn't sure this was every going to be possible, but in the end,
 at least in part, it just might be. clang-3.8 on Tiger PPC.
 {{{
 Welcome to Darwin!
 tigerg5: $ port -v installed clang-3.8 llvm-3.8

 tigerg5:~ $ which clang
 /opt/local/bin/clang

 tigerg5:~ $ clang --version
 clang version 3.8.1 (tags/RELEASE_381/final)
 Target: powerpc-apple-darwin8.11.0
 Thread model: posix
 InstalledDir: /opt/local/libexec/llvm-3.8/bin
 }}}

 There is still the issue with c++ exceptions on PPC to be fixed someday,
 and there is a bit of fine tuning to do with compiler_rt to get all the
 right symbols in. But it builds, and works well enough to play with.
