This is not the business of the Debian project.
Note that, FYI, a ppc64 machine such as a Power5 or G5 will perfectly fine run a 32 bits powerpc buildd, and will do it much faster than any G4 you can find. Also, IBM Power5 machines are probably more reliably, remotely admistrable, etc... So it -does- make some sense to use these especially if they were donated with the intend of those going to Debian.
