Hi Abraham, I'm currently working on getting OpenJDK built and running on PPC but unfortunately it's not simply a bootstrapping issue. For OpenJDK to build on a specific platform a fair amount of platform-specific code needs to be written. Look in hotspot/src/cpu and hotspot/src/os_cpu and you'll see what I mean. It's a massive job.
Have a look at http://gbenson.livejournal.com/ if you want to track my progress.
