atari800 and free42 cannot be installed on Tiger because SetFile cannot be found:

On Tiger, SetFile is not in PATH; it is at /Developer/Tools/SetFile. But I would ask first if you really need to use SetFile at all.

I originally ​reported this problem on macports-dev. See that message for further suggestions and comments.

I am allready considering the "lbreakout2" option - even before you reported the initial problem. Only I did not know how simple an bundle can be. But then: If I have a bundle I wan't to provide an icon.

Also both Atari800 and free42 need some initial setup inside the home directory as well so a simple "mkdir / ln" won't do.

To provide an icon, I believe you just need to add the icon file to the Resources directory inside the application bundle, and add an Info.plist with an entry pointing to that icon. But there are ​guides on Google that explain it better.
