Wine error message

Hello,
        I realize that wine is a Mactel only program; but, the error message:

        Error: wine can only be used on an Intel Mac or other computer with a  
little-endian processor.
        Error: Target org.macports.fetch returned: incompatible processor
        Error: Status 1 encountered during processing.

is misleading with the "or other computer with a little-endian  
processor" since a PowerPC could run as both big-endian and little-
endian.

I had no idea that was the case. Where can I read more about that?

I didn't want to just say "Intel Mac", since MacPorts theoretically  
runs on non-Macs as well, many of which will be x86-based and thus  
should be able to use wine.

Hello,
        "PowerPC Microprocessor Family:  The Programming Environments" and  
"MPC7450 RISC Miicroprocessor Family Reference Manual".  More wading  
in the latter because it covers all the MPC-74XX series.
