I didn't mean 'is it a release architecture'.  Well, I found the answer:
<http://www.debian.org/ports/#unreleased> does list ppc64.

It would still be possible to override config options.  But I think
ppc64/powerpc64 should be the same as powerpc/powerpc64.  (Just as
amd64/amd64 is the same as i386/amd64, and sparc64/sparc64 is the same
as sparc/sparc64.)
