It's not supported, and It's not likely ever to happen.
To do a cross-compile for PowerPC on an Intel box would require removing 
_every_ Intel binary library from the Fink tree, and then rebuilding every 
package for PowerPC.  Not to mention that the low level binary package 
handler, dpkg, is only capable of coping with a single architecture.

Maybe one could use a PowerPC and an Intel box, install  identical package 
sets, and  then manually generate universal binaries from the two fink trees.
