Since BOINC 5.10 it is possible to declare an alternate platform name that the client will use if there is no application available for the native platform. It is currently only used for amd64. The native platform on amd64 is 'x86_64-pc-linux-gnu' and the alternate platform is 'i686-pc-linux-gnu'. I assume that code compiled on a normal ppc64 can run on a PS3, but not the other way round? If this is true clients compiled for 'powerpc64-ps3-gnu-linux' should have the alternate platform 'powerpc64-pc-linux-gnu' (or 'ppc64-linux-gnu' because this is the official platform name for ppc64). But if I understand you correctly you want that 'powerpc64-pc-linux-gnu' has 'powerpc64-ps3-gnu-linux' as alternate platform. If all code compiled on a PS3 runs on ppc64 this would possible.
