Hi Richard,
The G4 (32-bit powerpc) sub-architecture is not supported any more (even in ports, as far as I can tell) in Debian Stretch. The last release to support Mac G4 is Jessie, also called “oldstable”.
You can download Jessie install media from
https://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/archive/8.9.0/powerpc/
If you already have a running Wheezy system on your G4, you can upgrade to Jessie in the usual way. It’s not necessary to do a full clean install.
Hope that helps!
Rick
