Trying to build for PowerPC architectures on Snow Leopard is not supported since Snow Leopard doesn't run on PowerPC computers.


However, the error in your log is:


:info:build ld: warning: in build/.libs/playwave.o, missing required architecture x86_64 in file
:info:build ld: warning: in build/.libs/libSDL_mixer.dylib, missing required architecture x86_64 in file
:info:build ld: warning: in /opt/local/lib/libSDLmain.a, missing required architecture x86_64 in file
:info:build ld: warning: in /opt/local/lib/libSDL.dylib, missing required architecture x86_64 in file


It looks like libsdl_mixer got properly built for the architectures you requested, but during the link phase, it forgot to use those same architectures, so it tried to use the default x86_64, which of course can't work. I see this same problem when trying to build libsdl_mixer for i386 (in a MacPorts prefix on Snow Leopard with build_arch set to i386). So I filed a bug report for that issue:


http://trac.macports.org/ticket/26706


Note that I have no trouble building libsdl_mixer universal for i386 x86_64 on Snow Leopard.
