Comment (by kakuhen):

 Note that you can get CCL-1.7 running on PPC64. The latest SVN revision
 that supports PowerPC Macintosh is 14469. According to rme himself, there
 also exists a full release of 1.7 for PowerPC, but I was unable to find
 it. Obtaining revision 14469 of CCL's trunk can be done by accessing their
 Trac page, going to that revision, then scrolling down to "Download
 Archive."

 As for ABCL, you can bootstrap a headless openjdk8u60 from
 [https://github.com/nilsvanvelzen/mac_ppc_openjdk8u60]. This allows me to
 run the latest Clojure on my PowerMac G5. It may also allow you to run an
 old copy of ABCL.

 I also managed to compile SBCL 2.2.2 using SBCL 1.0.47 and patching a file
 to cope with the lack of CLOCK_MONOTONIC in clock_gettime().

 All of these was done outside of a MacPorts build environment, however.
 But I am leaving this comment to denote what is possible to do. I am
 running OS X 10.5.8.
