That's pretty much what I did for sparc64.  There were a couple of issues.

1. You need an extra script to do ant since the openjdk7 build uses that.
   I don't recall the jdk16 build needing it.  That's trivial to add.

2. Parts of the build where it generated source didn't always seem to work
   (produced files that were truncating or the like).  I suspect this has
   something to do with the redirection it uses.  I ended up using a lot of
   generated source from a build on a different machine.

FWIW.

I suspect you can hack away on this and get ppc up and running though :).
