It's because the package b43-fwcutter is part of the "contrib" section which
is not available in Debian Ports, however I can build it.

I will build the package manually and upload it to "unreleased" for both powerpc
and ppc64. It will be available by tonight.

You will need to add "unreleased" to your sources.list to use it:

        deb http://ftp.ports.debian.org/debian-ports/ unreleased main
