Indeed, that ticket has been resolved 15 months ago, and I don't think it's at all related to what you're experiencing.

This is probably a PowerPC G3-specific issue. I'll bet something got inadvertently compiled for PowerPC G4, which is not compatible with your G3. What is the CPU subtype of /opt/local/lib/libffi.6.dylib and /opt/local/lib/libgio-2.0.0.dylib? Running the following command might tell us:

lipo -info /opt/local/lib/libffi.6.dylib /opt/local/lib/libgio-2.0.0.dylib
