THat agrees with my experience.... I compile Pd vanlla on a 32-bit
machine running 10.4 (I believe) and it's perfectly happy to grind out
3-architecture binary externs.  (If you look in 32-bit Pd vanilla you'll
see that sigmund~, etc, are OK fro PPC, i386, or whatever-you-call-it 64
bit intel.

(Only gotcha is taht I can't compile teh 64 bit app that way - I have to
squat on a newer machine for that, so teh exxterns included with 64 bit
Pd vanilla are lacking PPC support.

I don't know of any way to compile PPC apps anymore.  I would be happy to
put out a PPC version of Pd if I could.

cheers
