yes, Azul have ppc32 port of jdk8u, in SPE and FPU variants.

Yes, we want to contribte the support to OpenJDK, but it complicated.
To reveal source code we need to make up-port to current jdk development tree (11?) first, and it's heavy.

We have no reasonable estimates when the up-port will be ready. This is also pulls us back from creating new Project, as it will be out of sync with development branch of OpenJDK.

Thanks,
Anton
