linux supports many old Mac machines, but powerpc linux only supports
PPC-arch boxes. Most of the ''popular'' Mac-compatible distros these
days only support PPC.

They do, but IIRC it's extremely nontrivial. It's probably not worth
the time for what you want it for (i.e., anything other than doing it to
prove you can). You can probably find old PPC-based Macs real cheap
(or, for your purposes, even a cheap x86 box--no compelling reason to go
PPC).
