As near as I know, Gentoo runs as well on a PPC machine as it does on an x86 machine. The packages/versions of things available to PPC is a little different, but this is managed well with the Portage tool - as long as you tell the /etc/make.conf file what architecture you are using. Otherwise I've not heard any reason why you can't run Gentoo on PPC or other architectures.

I've played with a number of Linux distibutions on PPC machines, I'm just wondering how gentoo runs ie. does the compile go smoothly, does it detect ppc hardware well, does it make it easy to install ppc specific tools like yaboot?
