10.4.8.ppc are the sources that correspond to the 10.4.8 update for
PowerPC-based Macintoshes, and 10.4.8.x86 are the sources that
correspond to the 10.4.8 update for Intel-based Macintoshes. For
some projects, these are the same set of sources, for others they are
not.
The 10.4.8.x86 sources are intended to be compiled universal, and
those sources generally work on PowerPC, but keep in mind that
configuration differs from what is distributed with Mac OS X for
PowerPC.

I'm having a little trouble getting confirmation for this, but I seem
to remember the situation being:
* Darwin 8.8.0 was released (corresponding to Mac OS X 10.4.8/ppc),
but didn't support x86 platforms
* A short while later (2006-11-08, I think?) Darwin 8.8.1 was
released, corresponding to Mac OS X 10.4.8 for Intel.
Is anybody able to confirm whether this is actually the case, or if
I've missed something somewhere? The darwinsource page just shows 8.8/
x86 and 8.8/ppc, though all of the differences between the two
releases are increased version numbers for x86.
Also, is it possible to build and run what I think is 8.8.1
(10.4.8.x86) for PPC, or does it _only_ support x86?
