Comment(by edmond@…):

 I just noticed this problem today. To work-around it (this is not a fix),
 I did the following:

 % sudo port edit glib2

 Then, I forced the endian-order to what I wanted, in my case big-endian,
 by locating the following code and commenting it out, and then placing the
 set for the cross_archs, host_archs and big_endian to what I wanted. The
 code to locate is:

         # Find architectures which will not run on build platform.
         if { ${os.arch}=="i386" || ${os.arch}=="x86_64"} {
             set cross_archs "ppc ppc64"
             set host_archs  "ppc ppc64"
             set big_endian  "yes"
         } else {
             set cross_archs "i386 x86_64"
             set host_archs  "i386 x86_64"
             set big_endian  "no"
         }

 I commented out the above code (using #'s at the start of each line) and
 then selected what was right for me, big-endian, which was:

         set cross_archs "ppc ppc64"
         set host_archs  "ppc ppc64"
         set big_endian  "yes"

 In case anyone needs a work-around - as I did.
