FWIW, OpenBSD and NetBSD maintain official current releases for PPC.  FreeBSD
maintains it as a “Tier 2" architecture, meaning it’s not fully vetted by their
security team. Many Linux distros have likewise downgraded PPC to
“community-supported,” i.e. unofficial releases, but Debian for one still has
an official release.

(OT for this list, sorry, just wanted to point out that one’s choices for a PPC
Mac are not limited to an insecure old version of OSX or landf^Wrecycling.)
