I've booted GUID on PPC Macs myself, so I know that GUID will boot on
PPC Macs. For that matter, GUID is required if you want an external
boot drive that can boot both Intel Macs & PPC Macs. This requires
Leopard since it's the only "universal" version of OS X that will boot
both PPC & x86. There are plenty of reports on the internet of PPC
Macs booting GUID, here's my "I'm Feeling Lucky" hit, but there are
more:

Also, PC Hackintosh used to be "Master Boot Record" scheme only, but
now GUID is the preferred scheme for booting a PC Hackintosh. With
Leopard you could possibly have an external HD that would boot OS X on
PPC Mac, Intel Mac, and Hackintosh; a truly "universal" boot disk.
