We have no plans right now to offer pre-built binaries for Leopard or earlier. 
Our x86_64 Snow Leopard, Lion and Mountain Lion buildbots should cover the 
majority of MacPorts users now.

There's no reason I can think of why an Intel Mac user should not upgrade to at 
least Snow Leopard. It is a better faster OS than Leopard and will take up less 
space on disk.

PowerPC users have no choice but to stay on Leopard or earlier, so setting up a 
PowerPC Leopard buildbot would be more interesting to me. However it's more 
difficult to do that than our Intel buildbots, which are all virtualized now; 
for PowerPC builds we'd need to set up an actual PowerPC build machine. I might 
know of one we could use, but it would also need someone who understands MPAB 
and our current buildbot setup to set it up on the new machine.
