Comment (by barracuda156):

 As of now, however, 1.11.0 does not build correctly. I was able to force
 it build:

 {{{
 36-47% port -v installed libvpx
 The following ports are currently installed:
   libvpx @1.5.0_0 requested_variants='' platform='darwin 10' archs='ppc'
 date='2022-02-15T17:21:42+0800'
   libvpx @1.6.1_0 requested_variants='' platform='darwin 10' archs='ppc'
 date='2022-02-15T19:15:51+0800'
   libvpx @1.11.0_0 (active) requested_variants='' platform='darwin 10'
 archs='ppc' date='2022-02-17T19:29:33+0800'
 }}}

 And it did kinda build for ppc (notice however that it says ppc7400
 instead of just ppc: no idea where this comes from, source does not have
 it):

 {{{
 36-47% lipo -info /opt/local/lib/libvpx.a
 input file /opt/local/lib/libvpx.a is not a fat file
 Non-fat file: /opt/local/lib/libvpx.a is architecture: ppc7400
 }}}

 However unlike 1.6.1, it is broken. Attempt to rebuild ffmpeg with it
 fails:

 Here someone suggests forcing a generic target:
 https://bugs.gentoo.org/746173
 Did not work for me.

 P. S. This is what I initially used to make patches: https://mail-
 index.netbsd.org/pkgsrc-bugs/2016/02/16/msg058822.html
