You could build it from source. The only challenge is figuring out the configuration command for the target platform. I have compiled for Core 2 Duo and G4 shown below, but not G5. Search the web for the configuration command..... or perhaps someone here on the list might have the configuration command.

MacBook Pro Core 2 Duo (Processor = 2.33 Core 2 Duo) Configuration Command $ CC=gcc CFLAGS='-O3 -fno-common' CXX=gcc CXXFLAGS='-O3 -felide- constructors \
-fno-common' ./configure '--prefix=/usr/local/mysql' \
'--localstatedir=/usr/local/mysql/data' '--libexecdir=/usr/local/ mysql/bin' \
'--enable-thread-safe-client' '--enable-local-infile' '--with-pic' \
'--disable-shared' '--with-zlib-dir=bundled' '--with-readline' \
'--with-archive-storage-engine' '--with-innodb' '--with-extra- charsets=complex' \
'--with-vio' '--with-openssl'


PowerPC G4 Build Configuration Command
$ CC=gcc CFLAGS="-O3 -fno-omit-frame-pointer" CXX=gcc \
CXXFLAGS="-O3 -fno-omit-frame-pointer -felide-constructors -fno- exceptions -fno-rtti" \ ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/mysql --localstatedir=/usr/local/ mysql/data \
--with-extra-charsets=complex --enable-thread-safe-client \
--enable-local-infile --with-innodb --disable-shared --with-vio -- with-openssl

Once you know what cryptic configuration command (cryptic for those of us who don't work with C++ anyway) to use for the target processor, compiling form source is a piece of cake.

Here are my steps to compile on Mac (with SSL capability included too):

Found this article specifically for 64-bit OS X 10.4 build from source which may be just the additional pieces of info you need

Dear mysql-ers,

It seems that the Mac OS X PowerPC 64 bit version of the MySQL
Community server is no longer available.

Now I'm wondering which version I should use on a G5 PowerMac. PowerPC
32 bit or Universal?

Thanks for any insights.
