 > Maybe you only have a ppc, not an intel chip, so it doesn't work.

 It doesn't work because the user is on Mac OS X 10.4 PowerPC, which
 contains only the ppc architecture; every other Mac OS X version MacPorts
 supports contains at least ppc and i386 architectures. If you want to
 compile ppc and i386 on 10.4 PowerPC you must use the MacOSX10.4u.sdk. As
 far as I remember, the path to the this SDK will be in the variable
 ${configure.universal_sysroot} for you to use if it is needed (i.e. on
 10.4 PowerPC only); on all other OS the variable is empty.

 The port does not have a universal variant. The software should not build
 universal unless the port has a universal variant and the user has
 selected it.

 The port should build for the architecture(s) the user requested. That
 means examining ${configure.build_arch} or ${configure.universal_archs}
 depending on whether building universal or not.

 If 64-bit is not supported, the port should so indicate using
 "supported_archs i386 ppc" and, if enabling universal builds, by setting
 "configure.universal_archs i386 ppc" as well.
