While Win32 do not work on PPC there are binary codec packages for PPC. They contain .so files that allow playing some RealVideo and RealAudio and Indeo codecs for which free software decoders do not yet exist. You can get the packages from http://www.mplayerhq.hu/design7/codecs.html And yes, WMV3 should work with current MPlayer Subversion snapshots. However, the decoder is not finished and does not support advanced profiles or B-frames yet. Hopefully it will by the end of the year.

I had considered installing mplayer on one of my PowerMacs, but without the ability to play WMV files, it hardly seems worthwhile. No. With FFmpeg VC-1 codecs, we don't need w32codecs.

If you use the plugin mozilla-mplayer, maybe embedded video doesn't work.
