The official xforms site site is:  

   lynx ftp://ftp.cs.ruu.nl:/pub/XFORMS/linux/elf  ../../../linuxPPC/elf/...
                                                   ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
                                                      not the exact path

The latest file is: bxform-088.tgz  but i'm not sure, if this is linked against 
glibc-2.1.

Maintainer for XForms for debian is  Heiko Schlittermann, please ask him for an 
new upload
(for powerpc) or the procedure to do an NMU to contrib. 

Thnx,

     Hartmut
