I think Kurt provided an early jdk7 binary for ppc...  the follow ing  
url has some good ptrs:

http://jnorthr.wordpress.com/2012/08/13/java-open-jdk-7-sdk-1-7-for-apple-ppc-imac-macbook-g3-g4-and-g5-part-1/

NB  The old zero (pre -hsx24) was not tracking the jsr292 Ricochet  
frames stuff very well,
and they (Ricochet frames are gone after hsx24 (b31?) and also in jdk  
8. jdk8 has the best Zero/Shark
implementation at the moment (thanks Roman!)  jdk8 might work best as  
it has macosx stuff too
(although its more recent osx  ?  I am not an osx guru so  ymmv ).

PS
When I get "some time"tm  I intend to  try to build jdk7 on ppc .  
(Both Linux
and Mac OSX 10.5 but the latter is  tricky.)
I would probably use the current jdk7u Zero with  the patch that  
Volker Simonis
provided after that I would try to build  Volkers aix-ppc jvm. Again,  
no idea of
osx gotcha's for these, built Volkers aix-ppc on linux and it would  
build itself
last year, but haven't kept up since then.
