i dont know of anyone with current plans but it really should not be all that
hard.  you will need to create param.ppc_linux26.h and you will probably
need to add/change just a few minor things (compare param.i386_linux24.h
and param.i386_linux26.h).  the hardest part will be getting the build
system in src/libafs to do the right thing.  that should be pretty much
all you need to do (or so i think).

i dumped my ppc/linux system otherwise i would take a stab at this.
