The G5 (PPC64) is probably most similar to the OpenPOWER box, since  
the G5 is a direct derivative of the POWER4.  The two G4s running OSX  
have hardware vaguely similar to my PPC32 machine, but I was running  
Linux on that too.  You may find that you can target Linux/PPC32 more  
easily on the OpenPOWER box - the hardware itself should easily be  
able to run both.

The two machines I've been trying here are a PowerMac G5 running  
Gentoo Linux/PPC64, and a PowerBook G3 "Pismo" running Gentoo Linux/ 
PPC32.  I haven't tried running the merged tree on OSX yet.
