If you're G4 Powerbook is running Linux - I think you _are_ the target market :)
If your question was about getting a version running under OSX (on PowerPC) that may require a bunch of code changes. If you want to try, you're certainly welcome to go for it. We've also managed to convince the code to (mostly) compile/run on AIX. So it's pretty flexible. You can grab binaries for PowerLinux from the Jenkins server http://v8ppc.osuosl.org:8080/ - give it a try.
