 Ken, I have your old i386 portfile for Tenfourfox, updated it today with
 current TFF versions and amended settings to build for PPC. It seems to
 work, compilation running (takes forever, since I am away from Quad and
 building on Dual 2.3 with no SSD and 1/3 of the RAM). But I expect it
 either to be successful or fixable with moderate efforts.

 While it is likely rather straightforward to change build arch to i386
 (basically updating your patches, if the source code changed, and
 reproducing i386 section as it was), it is not feasible for me to test
 i386 builds.

 I hope no one gonna object against having TFF as PPC-only (after all, it
 is developed primarily for PPC), but if you or someone is interested to
 take care of Intel part, we can make it as dual-arch.
