found it: http://www.opensolaris.org/os/project/ppc-dev/

" There are Solaris 2.5.1 CDs for PPC out in the wild. I remember having to

" I doubt they'd run on G3/G4 hardware without some device driver love.

lots, if i understand correctly.  the folks above have access to the
2.5.1 and unreleased 2.6 ppc src, which they're leveraging although
much has changed since then.  openfirmware macs are one of their
