 Replying to [comment:9 ballapete]:
 > I think the GCC Java compilers never worked on PPC.

 They certainly worked, at least enough to compile pdftk, back in 2004 when
 the pdftk port was added to MacPorts, before Intel Macs existed. But it
 certainly could have broken on PowerPC in newer versions of gcc, and I
 don't know what would be needed to fix it. In any case, this ticket is
 closed.
