Yes, Apple have an emulation layer called Rosetta - but you said you
used MacPorts so you should have a native build.

Aha - previously undisclosed info :-) Yes, then it does seem quite
feasible that your old build was not only differing in achitecture,
but possibly also other configuration options that would have similar
effects.
Note to the other hackers - is it worth having initdb dump the
architecture details and configure options used into the cluster in a
human readble form so we can pickup on this sort of thing more easily
in the future?
