My 2 cents:

Honestly, I *really* wouldn’t bother with maintaining ppc support anymore. 10.5 
was released in Oct of 2007, that’s 6 versions ago and 99.9% of people running 
OSX are not running ppc. I understand the desire to support it, but those 
people can use older versions of Pd. Without going down the “Apple forces 
planned obsolesce, blah blah” fest again, the practical matter is that the need 
for OSX ppc is so small I feel developer effort is best spent elsewhere. 
Besides, if I were resurrecting an old Power PC G5 Mac Pro, I’d install Debian 
on it anyway.

OTOH, if you personally have an old Powerbook and want to keep Pd on it up to 
date, go for it! I’m just suggesting, if that’s not the case, it may not be 
worth the extra time and effort.
