So,
what version of MacPorts do you have? Currently the wxpython port is a unified 
python port:
===
jwa@bach:wine-devel> port info py27-wxpython
py27-wxpython @2.8.12.1 (python, graphics)
Sub-ports:            py24-wxpython, py25-wxpython, py27-wxpython

Description:          wxPython is a GUI toolkit for the Python programming
                      language. It allows Python programmers to create programs
                      with a robust, highly functional graphical user interface,
                      simply and easily. It is implemented as a Python extension
                      module (native code) that wraps the popular wxWindows
                      cross platform GUI library, which is written in C++.
Homepage:             http://www.wxpython.org/

Library Dependencies: python27, wxWidgets
Platforms:            darwin

Maintainers:          jwa at macports.org

So, if you have a port py-wxpython containing string 'subport' in it ('port cat 
py-wxpython'), you should have a MacPorts-version that supports the feature. I 
must confess that I can't say immediately, which version introduced this.

Here
the problem is libiconv port. This should obviously be solved before going 
further!

So,
is there any possibility for you to upgrade? PPC is supported in Leopard, IIRC, 
though even that is an old version, and may be hard to get. Probably would be 
better to buy new hardware, too, but I don't know your options (refurbished 
machines should be quite ok)?!
