The University of Augsburg and IBM have provided some of our developers with access to three POWER based machines (OpenPower 720 [1]) to help with Debian's port to 64 bit PowerPC. We have also been given a G5 on loan which can be used for debian-installer, glibc and other work. The G5 is currently with Jeff Bailey.
A selected number of (powerpc, d-i, glibc, gcc) developers have gained access to the POWER systems already. Bastian Blank announced some success with powerpc64 support for glibc today [2]. If you are interested in working on the powerpc64, please contact me and I'll see if I can arrange an account for you. There'll probably be more general access in the future.
