 I do not have this problem on any native powerpc, at least so far
 (including both 10a190 and hacked 10.6.8 running natively). It also does
 not seem to happen on 10a190 on i386 when MacPorts is built for i386.

 Now, one may ask why at all build MacPorts itself as ppc binaries (or
 course one can still build ports for ppc while MacPorts is built as
 x86_64); there is one convenience reason for that: `platform darwin
 powerpc` and `${os.arch} eq "powerpc"` work correctly (in a sense of how
 they are usually used) only when MacPorts is built as ppc, and changing
 almost every instance of that to `build_arch`-based conditions is a lot of
 patching. However, this is not a big deal as such, but the issue looks
 like a bug in the code introduced in 2.8.x or so.
