Nothing (yet) available/downloadable .. Almost all 5.2 packages were 
built (afaik) for ppc but now with 5.3 just around the corner (and i386 
and x86_64 arches being the first to be built/released) we'll have to 
wait a little bit longer.
In the meantime, you can install CentOS 4.0beta (but no updates) or 
install Fedora or YDL. Please note that YDL is based on CentOS SRPMS 
(except the kernel and some other components for the cell sdk).
I admit that my RPMforge PPC builder is still running FC6 but uses mock 
against RHEL4/RHEL5 to produce el4/el5 rpmforge rpms ;-)
On my other G4 i've installed YDL 6, waiting for C5 to appear
