It's looking for a native PPC32 port because you disabled Zero. There is
no such thing :)

Remove --disable-zero and it should build fine. IcedTea generally does the
right thing for each architecture, with the exception of enabling CACAO or
JamVM by default. These are likely to provide better performance than Zero,
but have not been known to pass the TCK. Depending on your needs, you may
find CACAO the best fit for PPC32.
