I'm not totally familiar with this since I've never used .Mac,
MobileMe, or iCloud. While it's certain that there will never be any
iCloud software for older PPC Macs similar to the iCloud control panel
and application integration available with Lion 10.7, I think your
current problem with email is simply a settings problem within OS X
Mail.app.
It appears the email settings of MobileMe (.Mac & .Me) accounts have
been changed for the migration to iCloud and that perhaps by manually
entering the new correct email settings within OS X Mail.app you will
be able to access your email directly from Mail.app on your PPC Mac?
Here are the correct settings:

I would guess that one or more of your current settings are wrong for
iCloud.
If this fails, you still can get your email on a PPC Mac. Other PPC
users have reported that you can go to the iCloud website (iCloud.com)
on any PPC Mac and login with your Apple password and connect to any
of the iCloud services including email.
There are 3rd-party PPC software solutions such as SOHO Organizer that
will sync iCloud Contacts, Calenders, Photos, etc. on PPC Macs running
10.5.8, so this may be an option.
