No, all based 60x, 750, 860 or G3 will work with the current linux kernel.
So also IBM PPC's and RS/6000 systems.
But what you may mean are the newer 64bit powerpc cpus (630). For this chip
the linux kernel lacks support. A new tree is needed, as for sparc and sparc64.
'All' is a little bit incorrect, the BeBox doesn't work currently, but s/o is
working on this.
