Comment (by kencu):

 the fix needed on Tiger PPC was this:
 {{{
 configure.ldflags-append -Wl,-read_only_relocs,suppress
 }}}

 but we have to see if that is just for TigerPPC, or also for Leopard PPC.
 It is related to gcc7 being the compiler? Or the system.

 And then not sure about +universal yet. Because of the need for gcc7, the
 only universal that is now possible is either "i386/x86_64" or "ppc/ppc64"
 and not many people are actually trying to build those archs on these old
 systems.

 So a bit of work to do to get it exactly right, but it does work:
 {{{
 $ port -v installed python311
 The following ports are currently installed:
   python311 @3.11.1_0 (active) requested_variants='' platform='darwin 8'
 archs='ppc' date='2022-12-16T12:59:57-0800'
 }}}
