My usual "acid test" for the state of MacPorts on 10.5 PPC is Octave, which is 
very demanding on compiler / supporting software, etc, and I'm happy to report 
it still seems healthy:

$ port -v installed octave
The following ports are currently installed:
  octave 
@5.2.0_2+accelerate+app+docs+gfortran+graphicsmagick+qt4+sound+sundials 
(active) platform='darwin 9' archs='ppc' date='2020-06-25T11:01:42-0700'


and runs OK.

Minor tweaks needed in building.

Ken
