Another PPC distro is SuSE 7.0. I just checked the website and didn't see an ISO image but distro can be gotten from ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/ppc/7.0. SuSE has been my preferred x86 distro for a while now, I don't do Macs so I don't know how the PPC distro compares to the Intel SuSE or other PPC versions.
