Debian (eventually an older version like Wheezy) might still support PPC.

Not surprising since Apple abandoned support of the PPC machines about
5 years ago. Apple seems to be quite aggressive in their obsolescence
schedule. Mine must have been one of the last, dating from about
2005. It still functions well except for the original Safari
browser. Ubuntu was an attempt to keep it functional a little longer.

I don't think so. The layout of the package search website is the same
for all packages, if something isn't available, then there are simply
no mirror servers listed. This makes sense.
As Benjamin already pointed out and AFAIK there is no open source code
available and nobody provides a binary for powerpc.
Apart from the issue with this proprietary software, the OP should
worry about Ubuntu dropping 32-bit support soon, for x86 and
powerpc.

and follow-ups.
