Because they're not installable.

The problem is that roxen doesn't build on powerpc, and that all the
other packages are arch:all and depend on roxen (or roxen2, which also
doesn't build on powerpc). Accepting any of them means adding packages
that are uninstallable on powerpc.
The fix to get roxen to build on powerpc is (or at least was when I
looked at it) quite trivial. It's just a matter of using varargs as ANSI
specifies rather than as i386 and a lot of other architectures allow. It's
described in bug 81648 which has been open for over 100 days...
Cheers,
