I would have thought that a PowerPC binary on an Intel Mac would work  
correctly through Rosetta.

No, unfortunately, that is a known problem that it does not error out  
at this point if the decompression program is faulty. We need to fix  
that.

http://trac.macports.org/ticket/16223

I have thought that it would be nice to separate extraction from  
decompression instead of putting them in a single phase. Besides  
being cleaner and fixing the above issue, it would enable us to  
handle formats that cannot be decompressed and extracted in a single  
step, such as .dmg.zip. Unfortunately, so many ports have hacked the  
arguments of the existing extract phase that changing it at all at  
this point may be problematic.
