The binaries that make up the YDL distro are compiled to run on the PowerPC processor.
Debian also offers a flavor of their distro that is specially compiled
to run on a PowerPC.

Technically you could take all the source code from a particular
distibution and compile it for PPC, and add a Mac friendly boot loader. 
Which is basically what the folks YDL, Debian and probably a few more
have already done.
