IIRC one should be able to get the openjdk7 port working on powerpc with the Zero VM at least. We've at one point had Zero working on both FreeBSD/amd64 and FreeBSD/sparc64 and it has previously worked on Leopard/ppc at some point. The big problem, as usual, is the bootstrapping. I'll be the first to admit that is probably much easier with gcj.
