No idea what they'd say.  No matter what you won't see the official
flash player in the distribution.  It violates the license policy of
Mandrake.  If MacroMedia did build it they might make an RPM and put it
on the Club site.

As far as how easy it would be.  Well that depends on if they made lots
of architecture dependent assumptions in their code.  Which is quit
probable they did.  KDE's sound server (arts) has been plagued by these
problems.  

Don't get me wrong I'd like to have a decent flash player for Linux on
the PPC arch.  So feel free to try.
