gtk4 unlikely to ever work on rosetta, at least quartz version.

quartz may never work on < 10.11 at all, but we’ll see.

if x11 version can be fixed that might be a better shot for the ancient & weird systems, but don’t hold your breath on that. Looks like a project.

Replying to kencu:

I actually expected it to default to x11 variant for older systems, like gtk3 port does.

Sergey, this port is brand-new, and should be considered a work-in-progress. As such, tickets like this are premature.

Regardless, please discuss via issue:62752, which you're already CCed on.
