It does.  You only get one processor running, of course.

The power4 kernels are supposed to boot all Apple G5 machines, and the
IBM pSeries on top of that.

This is very strange, because I tried the very same CD on what I
believe to be the same hardware (a dual 2GHz G5).  While neither
install-power4 nor install-power4-2.6 actually got into the
installation system, the kernel did boot.
