Yes, but UT for Linux is an x86 BINARY, not PPC native. The source code is NOT available. If I run MacOS 9 or X I can host it on a PPC. Believe me, I'd rather put Debian PPC on this machine. It would be less stressful than X and more stable than 9. However, it would mean no UT. So I have three choices: field an x86 machine instead of a PPC, or run either MacOS 9 or X. I have the x86 machines to where I could conceivably turn one into a server, but I'd rather run on the Blue-And-White. And of course all bets are off if I don't get the G4 my friend will be handing down to me. It all depends on if he gets a job and is able to buy the G5 he's lusting after. In that case, my server will probably be Linux on x86. Which will make it off topic for this list.
