It builds fine for me on Tiger PPC. Can you please attach your complete main.log?

Thanks for the help; I've attached the complete log.

I don't know much about making things universal, and don't have a PPC machine to test on, so I might not be able to help much with this one.

... referenced from libXft expected to be defined in /opt/local/lib/libfreetype.6.dylib

Does this suggest the problem might by with libXft or libfreetype? Are you able to build other ports that depend on those?

I successfully built rxvt-unicode to build. I was able to build emacs +gtk (which uses libXft) but got a segmentation fault when launching it. While pursuing another build issue I discovered that my ports collection contained a vast number of orphaned files (the result of an incomplete migration). I started from scratch, rebuilt my entire ports collection using the script on the Migration wiki, and rxvt-unicode now builds. This was not a precise or systematic attempt at a solution, but it was pretty clear that orphaned files were causing lots of problems in general, and it was easier to rebuild the ports collection then hunt them all down. Thanks for your help.
