NetBSD/powerpc runs on any 603 or 604 using OpenFirmware, and ELF boot
code.  PCI Powermacs are OFW with XCOFF (or XCOFF-like) boot code.  It
should be easy to make NetBSD/powerpc go on those boxes; note, using
OFW for i/o, but once you've gotten the shell, the rest is easy, right? :-)

Making it go on non-OFW will be a little more work.  But, the hard parts
are done already, really; trap handling, pmap, various bits in locore.
