Does that mean I must rebuild all the ports installed on my MacMini G4/10.4 box?

This bug can only affect binaries with a text segment size (that is code size) of more than 28 MB (per PowerPC architecture for universal binaries). Apple would have fixed this bug themselves if they had ever linked binaries that large before (the Xcode 3 default linker has always had this bug). So no, you don't have to rebuild your ports.
