I don't think getting Plan 9 working on a power pc mac is as
hard as some of the archived discussions might indicate. With
the NetBSD macppc source, you can easily find alot of the
low level software/hardware interface issues solved, and
recent macs use PCI, ATI graphics and IDE drives, so the
hardware isn't totally proprietary anymore.
One suggestion though: NetBSD's 'macppc' port, v1.5, had some
buggy USB code, which is fixed in 1.6.1.
Good Luck! (I have an iMac I'd like to run Plan 9 on)
