device : mac powerpc osx : 10.4 xcode : rel 4, most recent of this os
saw ##26826 but : Does "make" in fact exist in /usr/bin? If not, did you deselect (or forget to select) the "UNIX Development" or "Command-Line Development" option when installing Xcode? If so, or if unsure, use the Xcode installer again and select that option.
=> there is no such option at xcode's wizard installer. I dont find the "tar" executable...
ty!

okay, but how do i do to install tar? it's a bit surprising to figure out that macos 10.4 or older are just concerned by this issue.. i think im not the first one who tries to install macports on powerpc ;)

Actually it's worse than #26826; make is from the developer tools but tar is part of the base OS. I can't tell you how you managed to avoid having it. You probably need to reinstall the OS.
This is indeed the same as #26826. MacPorts doesn't work without /usr/bin/tar. If that doesn't exist, your Xcode Command Line Tools installation is incomplete. https://guide.macports.org/#installing.xcode.other
