I made 2 changes in the ebuild: I added 'ppc' to the KEYWORDS list and I added TightVNC as an alternative to VNC to the RDEPEND list and I changed pkg_setup to accept TightVNC. No problems with the installation and also no problems with the program itself, it works great. Here is my changed ebuild: ... LICENSE="GPL-2" SLOT="0" KEYWORDS="~amd64 ~x86 ppc" IUSE="" DEPEND="" RDEPEND="|| (net-misc/vnc net-misc/tightvnc)" DESTDIR="/usr/$(get_libdir)/${PN}" pkg_setup() { if has_version net-misc/vnc; then if ! built_with_use net-misc/vnc server; then eerror eerror "You must have your VNC implementation (currently net-misc/vnc) built" eerror "with the \"server\" USE flag to use ${PN}." eerror die "Please rebuild net-misc/vnc with USE=server" fi fi } ...
On my amd64 box, I originally tested with tightvnc, and it wasn't happy, tightvnc's Xvnc implementation couldn't find the right font paths, so it wouldn't start. I will give it another try when I have a chance. But I can CC the ppc team as per keywording the package ~ppc.
Okay, marked ~ppc. Thanks!

Can this please be reviewed? I checked it right now again and Xrdp works with TightVNC. Esp. now, I have to use TightVNC because net-misc/vnc does not support the Xorg-Server 1.4.
The package has been removed from portage.
