If I understand things correctly:
- Xen isn't yet available for powerpc and some think it'll never be.

Xen isn't available on 32bit powerpc.

supporting 10.4, to say nothing of 10.5

MOL runs 10.4 just fine, probably 10.5 too. It runs on 2.6 kernels without problem, but there is a problem right now to run 2.6 linux kernels inside of
mol.

It all seems a bit overconstrained.

FWIW,  I did find Xensource's 05-Dec-05 press release which states:
[...]a port of Xen to IBM’s Power PC architecture by IBM is close to
completion, signaling broad cross-platform adoption of Xen.

So one can hope :-)

This is for G5 and up or other 64bit powerpc machines only though.

Thanks for the clarification.
