I ended up building the server from source.  It took a little while,
but it works fine.  I believe there are packages and maybe tarballs
available with xf4 ppc binaries (search the list).  and if you can
only find packages, just use alien -t if you really want a tar.gz.

It was originally written for the x86 platform, I assume. :)
