The error happens with a patched version of Portfile which does not allow the use of Clang/llvm 3.3; Clang/llvm 3.4 are installed.

Well, yes. To fix that error, old compilers were blacklisted; see #47722 and r136307. You've apparently removed that blacklisting from your copy of the portfile, thereby causing the problem again.

Replying to ryandesign@…:

Yes, I did so, because port started to build llvm-3.3 first, which can't be built on PPC Tiger.

How can I change the Portfile that llvm-3.4 or clang-3.4 or gcc-4.10 or whatever else can be used?

Some package I tried to upgrade seemed to have needed Ghostscript although before I had tried to check the dependencies—and so a new build was tried and it finished successfully:

takanori has retired. See #47537.

This ticket can be closed, I think, ghostscript @9.19_0+x11 builds…
