RAR is included; your port builds the stand-alone 7zz (Alone2) and
sets neither DISABLE_RAR nor DISABLE_RAR_COMPRESS.  This 7zz can
decompress my .rar file.  It has the unRAR license restriction.

Your port of 26.02 runs as is on macppc.  That's good news, because
24.08 would not compile without a patch in C/CpuArch.h to remove a
wrong defined(_LITTLE_ENDIAN).  Upstream has fixed CpuArch.h and added
a comment, "// _LITTLE_ENDIAN macro can be defined for big-endian
platform with some compilers".

I had a mystuff/archivers/7zip of 24.08 but never shared it with this
list.  It had pledge patches, a -rar subpackage like p7zip, and
7zCon.sfx for self-extracting archives.  I will try to graft those
features onto this port of 26.02.

My port of 24.08 also downloaded the linux-arm binary to install its
HTML manual.  (The HTML came with the binaries, but not with the
source.)  This is less than useful, because browsers like firefox
don't unveil /usr/local/share/doc/7zip/MANUAL/ (but I was reading it
with emacs M-x eww).  A manpage would be more useful.
