I don't know, but the fact that Macports compilation works seems to suggest that the problem may be related to the compilation flags used for ppc architecture.

Final piece of information.  I just tried the tektronix pane of xterm
with the default Tiger X11 and I get exactly the same problem.
Little open squares in place of the expected font type.  Again, this
is on a PPC PowerBook (it works fine in Tiger on an Intel machine).

So, this is looking more like a general X11 problem (both with
XFree86 and X.Org) on PPC.
