Comment (by braumann@…):

 I did these experimental steps and had success building both {{{mozjs17
 @17.0.0.2}}} and {{{policykit @0.104_1}}} on 10.5.8. PPC:

 {{{
 $ sudo port configure mozjs17 configure.compiler=gcc-4.2
 }}}

 {{{
 $ sudo nedit
 /opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_ports_lang_mozjs17/mozjs17/work/mozjs17.0.0/mfbt
 /double-conversion/utils.h
 }}}


 Added the pattern as variant in capitals inside {{{utils.h}}}:

 {{{
 defined(__powerpc__) || defined(__POWERPC__)
 }}}

 Continued building:

 {{{
 $ sudo port install mozjs17 configure.compiler=gcc-4.2
 }}}

 --->  Activating mozjs17 @17.0.0_2
 --->  Cleaning mozjs17
 --->  Updating database of binaries
 --->  Scanning binaries for linking errors
 --->  No broken files found.
 }}}

 Then have built {{{policykit}}}:

 {{{
 $ sudo port upgrade policykit
 }}}
