I use MacPorts on 10.4 for basic stuff, it works and is very useful. Of course I have no high expectations, since I actively work on 10.5 and there it is already a big hurdle... However having basics working: subversions, git, openssl, gnumake and such is of high usage. Only way e.g. to get repository access.
I understand it feels a bit wrong to throw away working hardware. There's always the option of Linux if you just need those commands?
And if you upgrade to 10-year-old hardware you're probably saving that from being thrown away too...
maybe some kind of restricted port selection?
If someone wanted to put in the work to fork base prior to the removal of the 10.4 workarounds and curate a tree of ports that are known to work on Tiger (or even older), that would be fine.
