wine / wine-devel / wine-crossover-games are intrinsically x86 only,  
for one obvious example.  openjdk is not intrinsically x86-only, as I  
see Solaris SPARC support, but if there's no bootstrap binaries for  
PPC then it's unlikely to be supported by MacPorts unless someone does  
the work to bootstrap it.

It looks to me like any JDK 1.6 will work for bootstrapping, although  
I'd be surprised if the port made any attempt to support anything  
other than a fixed bootstrap, so someone who cared could build  
openjdk6 PPC binaries using Sun JDK 1.6 and package them up as the PPC  
openjdk6_bootstrap.
