Yes, that would be possible, of course. One could use rebootstrap [1] for that, for example. However, I'm not sure what would be the point of having a ppc64be distribution with POWER8 instructions as most POWER8 software is provided for the little-endian ports anyway such that most users who want a big-endian port use that for Apple G5 systems or the newer Amiga One X5000(?) systems.
