This is primarily meant for end-users (not for development, since the latter has a lot of stuff which is supported, hard to make a list). That is, for every-day tasks and regular usage.
Disclaimer: due to updates to the ports and their dependencies, it may happen that something fails to build at a given moment. It is advised to report such breakages on Trac for officially supported systems (Tiger and Leopard) and here or on my GitHub for 10.6 PPC.
(10.6.8 Rosetta is kinda supported by Macports in principle, but perhaps is of little interest for end-users.)
Notice also, that pretty much everything is built and tested on 10.5 and/or 10.6, but not on 10.4. It is expected that some stuff will be broken on Tiger; I can only recommend to use either Leopard (10.5.8) or Snow Leopard (10a190).
If you use Snow Leopard on PowerPC, that requires a few tweaks and some minimal maintenance effort (does not require any expertise, can be done by anyone). Since that is not supported by Macports upstream, ask me about that.
