You were right. I burned Fedora-Everything-netinst-ppc64-27-1.6.iso on a CD and I was able to start an installation, but not to finish it. There were problems with the graphical install (the system froze with a black and white chessboard pattern) so I had to enable the textual install by adding "inst.text" on the kernel line in GRUB. I used the repository [1] and a default "classic" partition table (classic as opposed to LVM). Once I started the installation of the system I noticed the creation of an "appleboot" partition (as the installer called it). Then the installation was interrupted by the following error: "The package 'yaboot' is required for this installation. This package does not exists. This is a fatal error and installation will be aborted". So, I suppose that in theory Fedora 27 does support apples, but by using yaboot and for this reason I think that further testing is not required. Hope these failed installations helped. Regards F.
