Is the quoted text about the pt_BR.po or the pt(_PT).po? The translation
looks like Portugal's Portuguese, and is somewhat strange for us
Brazilians... An proper pt_BR translation would look like this:

"A sua sub-arquitetura PowerPC suporta mais de um gerenciador de
partida, por favor escolha aquele que quer utilizar".

At least in Brazilian portuguese, "mais de um" and "mais do que um" are
mostly the same thing, both would be right. Also, I translated
"bootloader" as "gerenciador de partida" above because that was what I
found in the powerpc installation manual translation, but I don't really
like the term.

As I'm not involved on debconf translation, it  would be nice if someone
which is checked it for writing style consistence (faw? andrelop?)

I hope this helps,
