Here we go:
OpenJDK 8u60, confirmed working: http://macos-powerpc.org/compilers/openjdk/openjdk8/openjdk-1.8.0-internal.zip
OpenJDK 8u372, untested, but appears functional: http://macos-powerpc.org/compilers/openjdk/openjdk8/openjdk8-8u372_2+release+zero.darwin_10.ppc.tbz2
Notice, these were built on 10a190, so may or may not work on earlier systems. I can probably do a build on 10.5 some time later.
