I have a G5 at the office for testing Qt on = big-endian on Linux (not that I get around to it very often): it=E2=80=99s= fine for that sort of thing, and those machines aren=E2=80=99t worth = much anymore, despite being quite the beasts of their time. And you can = google and find out about the Plan 9 PPC porting, discussion about = Power9 and so on. It=E2=80=99s good that one endian won though, IMO, so maybe we can = eventually forget about =E2=80=9Cnetwork byte order=E2=80=9D being = big-endian, and stop flipping bytes around pointlessly, especially in = new protocols. 9p is little-endian (from what I read): that seems like = a good choice.
