Some questions...

What is /tmp/libiconv-1.11? Why is that there?

How did you originally install MacPorts? I believe the recommended  
way is to download DarwinPorts-1.3.1-10.4.dmg from http:// 
svn.macosforge.org/repository/macports/downloads/Darwinports-1.3.1/ .  
That should be a Universal Binary and work properly on Intel and  
PowerPC Macs. Is that how you installed it?
