After applying patch r105571
You should not have had to apply anything manually; that's a committed revision which should have been delivered to you by running sudo port selfupdate.
I tried to install mplayer but it said I had no suitable compilers.
Correct; the port blacklists all the compilers Xcode on Tiger includes and that MacPorts 2.1.x looks for. MacPorts 2.2 will look for more compilers automatically, including apple-gcc-4.2. So this portion of the bug report will either be resolved by releasing MacPorts 2.2 or by adding more compiler fallbacks to the MPlayer port.
I have Xcode 2.5 installed which I beleive is the latest that will run on OSX 10.4/ppc.
Correct, Xcode 2.5 is the latest version for Tiger.
So I tried: sudo port install mplayer configure.compiler=apple-gcc-4.2 ...and it started building OK but threw up another error, logfile attached as main2.log
Hmm... I don't know what this is:
