Comment (by js-macports at webkeks.org):

 I tried debugging it, looked in the C files, found out the byte ordering
 is wrong, googled, found a mailing list posting where somebody also
 figured out the byte ordering is wrong and somebody answered that glib2
 has problems with universal support, rebuilt glib without the universal
 flag and then it worked again.
 IIRC, I didn't have that problem on Tiger with the universal flag.

 Is there any reason you can't try Leopard on the PowerMac G4? For me, it
 was even faster than Tiger on my iBook G4.
