No, that's generally a pretty safe assumption. However, the packages on the
Tasty Morsels CD were tested less thoroughly than those on the main CD. Which
isn't to say they all have problems like this; I'm personally using quite a
few of them with no problems at all.
What you've discovered is a simple bug; I'll look into it. At any rate, that
rpm won't help you much, so you should try to grab a source rpm from
postfix.org and rebuild it. ('rpm --rebuild postfix-*.src.rpm' yields
/usr/src/rpm/RPMS/ppc/postfix-*.ppc.rpm)
