A quick poke at http://rpmfind.net came up with dkms and fuse for the ppc
architecture.  Perhaps it will have others you seek?

In the past I've had luck with rpm.pbone.net, but a scan there didn't come
up with any immediately obvious candidates for ppc.  Still, it may be worth
some further digging.

Cheers,
