Yes, it would be terrific if someone were to do some porting for
Linux/PPC.  Wine and Bochs certainly work quite well with Linux.

For my part, I plan to start with a trial port to Darwin/x86.

If those two things happened in parallel, that would save a lot of time 
and definitely bring more expertise to bear on the many issues.
