FYI:

Here's what blocks are: ​https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blocks_(C_language_extension)

Here's the ticket about gcc not supporting them yet: ​https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=78352

Probably the only sane path forward for this is for gcc to implement support for blocks. Then this port can use gcc to build on PowerPC. It's probably unreasonable to expect upstream to abandon the useful blocks feature in their code for the benefit of ancient systems, and it's probably unreasonable for MacPorts to develop and carry forward forever a large patch for this.
