The log says:
error: comparison of constant 18446744073709551615 with expression of type 'unsigned long' is always true [-Werror,-Wtautological-constant-out-of-range-compare]
if (addend < MP_DIGIT_MAX) {
This sounds like a bug on nss code. Could you report it to the developers of nss?

Duplicate #51709 proposes a patch. If this problem remains with the latest version of nss, we need to communicate with the developers to see if that's an appropriate fix.

This problem may only have been occurring for you because you were using clang on PowerPC, which is known not to work. See #55473. That problem has been fixed; MacPorts will no longer try to use clang on PowerPC.
It also might only have been appearing because you were building with -Werror. The nss port was changed to no longer use -Werror.
nss 3.42 builds fine for me on 32-bit Tiger PowerPC. If you are still seeing this problem with that version or later, please reopen this ticket.

I was able to port install nss 3.42 on Leopard PowerPC. Looks like port pulled down a pre-built package. Seems to be OK now.
