You mean 32-bit PowerPC (powerpc), not 64-bit PowerPC (ppc64), and not
little-endian 64-bit PowerPC (ppc64el), right.
It's always goot to look at Debian for such things.
<https://www.debian.org/ports/powerpc/> says:
|The last supported release for 32-bit PowerPC is Debian 8 ("jessie").
Interestingly this page does not mention (big-endian) ppc64 at all,
but there used to be a ppc64 port and there still seems to be ongoing
work on ppc64 <https://wiki.debian.org/PPC64>. Debian apparently also
still performs buildd-testing for ppc for Debian unstable:
<https://buildd.debian.org/status/architecture.php?a=powerpc&suite=sid>
