Thanks to everyone for giving me a starting point.
here's what I tried so far:
changed the CFLAGS in the src/template/freebsd file to:
CFLAGS='-O0 -pipe'
did
./configure --with-template=freebsd
configure succeeded.
Did a make and started to build. During the build, there were a ton of messages of this type:
../../../../src/include/catalog/pg_type.h:414: stray '\' in program
make exited with this:
cc -c -I../../../src/include -O0 -pipe -Wall -Wmissing-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -o dynloader.o dynloader.c
dynloader.c:42: header file 'link.h' not found
dynloader.c:43: header file 'dlfcn.h' not found
../../../src/include/dynloader.h:19: header file 'link.h' not found
make[3]: *** [dynloader.o] Error 1
make[2]: *** [port-recursive] Error 2
make[1]: *** [all] Error 2
make: *** [all] Error 2
Not sure if configure didn't move the correct files or if there was something else wrong. I was using the lastest
developersnapshot for testing. I also tried it on a stock 7.0.2 source but got the same error.
Any ideas? I'm willing to try and get this working but unfortunately my grasp of the process is pretty weak.

FreeBSD template seems like it'd be a good starting point. 7.0.*
will probably not work on PPC unless you compile with optimization
level -O0, so tweak CFLAGS in the template that way before running
configure. Otherwise it seems like it'd more or less work --- give
it a shot and let us know how it goes.
BTW, I think the PPC optimization issues are solved in current sources.
From a development perspective it'd be more interesting to hear your
report on what happens with a current nightly snapshot instead of 7.0.2.
