Description
The latest MacPorts 2.10.0 release on GitHub is missing a package for 10.4 Tiger in Assets.
The link https://github.com/macports/macports-base/releases/download/v2.10.0/MacPorts-2.10.0-10.4-Tiger.dmg on the MacPorts website (www.macports.org/install.php#installing) leads to a 404 error on GitHub.
The previous full release, MacPorts 2.9.3, has a package for Tiger in its GitHub entry. There was no mention of dropping support for 10.4 Tiger in any changelogs, so I am sure it is just an oversight.

As far as I know support for 10.4 has not been dropped; you should still be able to selfupdate to it or build it from source as usual. If that's failing let us know.

Is there a problem with creating the 10.4 installer dmg?

This should probably be reopened. Deleting a reference does not fix the issue.

What Josh seems to be telling us is that he intentionally no longer produces the Tiger installer; reopening the ticket won't necessarily change Josh's intention.
What I'd like to understand is why the Tiger installer is no longer produced. Josh, did your 10.4 VM or machine die and it's too much trouble to fix? Or is there now an error when producing this installer? If so, what's the error? Maybe I can help fix it.
I have Tiger machines I could use but I'm not sure how our release process would change if all of the assets are not being made by one person.
Josh didn't produce installers for Mac OS X 10.4 for MacPorts 2.10.0 beta 1, beta 2, rc 1, nor final.
