I vaguely recall somebody talking about ppc debian-live CDs.

The difference is basically in bootloader and perhaps some tweaks to
make things working on the hardware (like kernel parameters or X
config).

To make this work you need the skill to resolve general system
configuration issues like you do when you install Linux normally and
some shell scripting helps but you can always consult somebody on
that.
