Ooops, I do not understand. I think that it *can* be done for *this* TL.
Just to avoid complaints and many mails from users in disaster.
We have this week for serious checking.
I can only confirm that texlive7-1-20020520 contains in config.guess

    'Power Macintosh':Darwin:*:*)
       echo powerpc_darwin${UNAME_RELEASE}
        exit 0 ;;

and /MacOSX directory
  908366 May 20 00:06 TeX-thin.dmg
  424769 May 19 22:05 bash-2.0.5-osx.tgz
 1145378 Apr 10 15:05 texshop.dmg

so perhaps everything is OK. But please, do some checking
(especially install-cd.sh).

I wrote in the last message "Where is image":
