The source already compiles for and runs on PowerPC with Mac OS X 10.4 and 10.5, so there should only be the work needed to port to your specific platform.

You haven't given any details about your platform other than "PowerPC".  If you're more specific about your hardware or operating system, perhaps you'll find that other ports already exist that support it.
