Sorry for not getting back to you sooner.

Using the same setup (10.4.11 Xcode 2.5 ppc MacPorts 1.710) I can't reproduce your problem. Make sure that all your ports are up to date and try again as follows:

sudo port clean --all x264 sudo port selfupdate sudo port upgrade outdated

sudo port -f upgrade x264

my output:

Rats!! Formatted better:

do this

sudo port clean --all x264
sudo port selfupdate
sudo port upgrade outdated 

sudo port -f upgrade x264 +universal

or if you are using MacPorts 1.8 rc1 you can use the following command to upgrade to the +universal variant

sudo port upgrade --enforce-variants x264 +universal

Confirmed. Compiles fine now as universal on Tiger (PPC). Cheers
