If you're going down that path, you should see if you can get
TenFourFox to compile. TenFourFox does have a jit and supports altivec.

I do know about TenFourFox - having contributed to it myself and having
worked on making on i386 again. An interesting fork, the best thing you
can get on a PPC 10.4 or 10.5 Mac! However, the code is very Mac specific.
ArcticFox derives from PaleMoon 27 and thus is more portable, but
improved build and compiler compatibility. Of course, in the long term,
it would be delicious to merge in TenFourFox's PPC JIT! AF and PaleMoon
are not so "refined" as TenFourFox which really backported a lot of
FireFox stuff
Yet, ArcticFox allows you to use stuff like yahoo mail, gmail and
facebook, if needed. It doesn't work well enough for github, which is
now a monster.
I'd be interested to know if OpenBSD/PPC works... or try to help, in case.
In the meanwhile, I think ArcticFox will fit the OP needs: you can
access gmail and yahoo mail
Help for ArcticFox... generally appreciated!
Riccardo
