Note, it's usually recommended to not use a wide build on OS X:

http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.python.devel/116519

But, if you must, for 2.7, the relevant ./configure option should be 
--enable-unicode=ucs4.  So, for a G5 if you want to try to include 
64-bit support, try something like (untested!):

  ./configure --with-universal-archs=all --enable-unicode=ucs4

BTW, MacPorts appears to support +ucs4 as a variant for python27 builds.
