Justin,
What Samuel may need to do is install from 9.0 and upgrade the source
to CURRENT for building world and KERNEL.

Samuel,

Xorg should be built with only what you need on POWER(PC) machines.
The meta port of Xorg will break due to a few drivers being i386/amd64
only. Take a look at dmesg for the card vendor. On the forums there
exists the how to thread for installing to a G3; however, the
references to Xorg apply to all Power machines.
