Tried, and my first try failed...  Following the info at

  https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu/Testing/PPC&Mac64

I did (on a Ubuntu 10.04 amd64 desktop):

  sudo apt-get install qemu-kvm qemu-kvm-extras
  mkdir -p ~/qemu-ppc
  cd ~/qemu-ppc
  qemu-img create powerpc_hd.img -f qcow2 6G # no need for 20G
  wget -c
http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/pool/main/o/openbios-ppc/openbios-ppc_1.0+svn1060-1_all.deb
  sudo dpkg -i openbios-ppc_1.0+svn1060-1_all.deb
  qemu-system-ppc -cpu G4 -M mac99 -m 512 -bios
/usr/share/openbios/openbios-ppc -cdrom
/usr/local/isos/lubuntu-12.04-desktop-powerpc.iso -hda powerpc_hd.img
-boot order=d &

I end up with a busybox shell prompt in the qemu emulation window.  Not
what I expected.  No time for more right now, off to play guitar for a
couple of hours.  May try using the G4 ibook approach when I return.
