Xen doesn't support Power9 for the moment.
Qubes still depends on Xen for compartmentalization.

No.

Can we get input from a developer on this issue?
You should email the community liaison, as it is definitely a question 
worth asking.

a...@qubes-os.org
If you want a supported build done by them you would probably have to 
provide the funds for a new/used recent POWER system.

None as far as I know, you could probably do it without much difficulty.

If you have the the type of job that allows you to purchase a server
that costs as much as a nice used car you probably know how to compile a
distro or pay someone to do so so there isn"t anything stopping you from
compiling it for POWER, but yes I also can"t understand the rabid x86
fixation that the linux community has some people even say "oh power is
expensive and thats lame" as if you wouldn"t pay just as much for an
intel offering with equivalent performance.
You could also compile it for ARM and get a performance server board or
something.
If you don"t mind me asking what do you need all this security for? I am
always curious - as for me there really isn"t any reason besides it
being cool in of itself.
