There's one under development (still early but some people are
already using it for MythTV):

I don't know how difficult it would be to port to a PPC platform.
The driver is x86 only, depends quite heavilly on the x86 hardware and
isn't easilly rewritten for PPC. I had to experience this the hard way,
buy buying a PVR250 for my Pegasos, driver didn't compile, so I made some
hasty hacks, but no that didn't help, so PVR250 and PVR350 and any other
board using the same chip will not work on PPC untill someone starts a new
project to write an platform undependent driver or a special one for PPC.
Well, maybe someone will.
Now, there is also the freevo project, who is rumored to work on ppc, well, at
least i heard of one guy who had it working on Pegasos. And i think i have
seen a package sitting in the NEW queue :/
