Sure. Of course, you're going to need an Ubuntu x86 -> powerpc cross compiler. Before we go through the steps of building one, please make sure that you can't get a packaged cross-compiler from someone else. Once you have done that, we can show you how to build a cross-compiler. But be warned: it takes a fair bit of C and operating system experience, and you'll need to allocate a fair bit of time.
