of course not. ia32 and ppc are binary incompatible.

sure. but most problems can be sorted out easily. alsa for instance runs
nicely on ppc (some architecture-independent driver problems
notwithstanding).
if only my girlfriend wasn't taking her powerbook g3 with her all the
time, i would be banging my head against jack/ardour on ppc now...

good. this is one of the big strengths of linux vs. other commercial
os's imho, and it needs to be brought to public attention.
when i tell friends i have the same os running on my sparc32 quad-smp
workstation, ia32server, arm pda and apple notebook, they are usually
impressed :) i can choose the right hardware for the job without
sacrificing interoperability. and no matter how many big architectures
will get bought out and die, chances are i can continue to run linux :-D
