Ooops. Looks like they didn't provide bootstrap OpenJDK binaries for
PowerPC. And OpenJDK requires OpenJDK to be built. Chicken-and-egg
issue.
Fortunately, we do have this:

Is there a maintainer for MacPorts JDK6 so that filing a bug report

The vulnerability *IS* present in older versions of Java.

You can get OpenJDK7 from mac ports or fink.

Here's an article/FAQ on CNET about it:

Not necessarily. It is possible that the original Java Runtime

Yes, some were. But that's all we know. There has been no
