Hello. I have installed Ghostscript 8.62_1+Universal on a NFS share that 
is mounted by various Intel and PPC Macs. gs works fine on Intel Macs 
but does not work on PPC macs (gives Bus error). All computers are 
running OS X 10.5.2 with all updates applied. Here is the output of the 
same command run on Intel and PPC Macs:

Intel
=====
 >which gs
/opt/local/bin/gs
 >gs -q -dQUIET -dPARANOIDSAFER -dBATCH -dNOPAUSE -dNOPROMPT 
-dMaxBitmap=500000000 -dAlignToPixels=0 -dGridFitTT=0 
"-sDEVICE=pngalpha" -dTextAlphaBits=4 -dGraphicsAlphaBits=4 "-r72x72" 
-g612x792  "-sOutputFile=test.png" test.ps

test.png is created successfully

Any ideas? Thanks.
