Myth doesn't build under OS X (yet).  You'd be welcome to help in that 
effort, though!  I believe most of Myth should compile under LinuxPPC, 
but there are some endian-ness issues moving from x86 -> PPC, and also 
I don't know how well libavcodec & libffmpeg handle PPC.  Way back in 
the 0.7/0.8 days someone reported that they had build mythfrontend on 
LinuxPPC, but the changes were never merged into CVS AFAIK.
