Even with a cross compiler you'd need an environment to execute the
resulting powerpc build - about the only way that you can do that on
an x86 host is to use something like Qemu's powerpc support:

  http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/library/l-qemu-development/

It's slow compared to real hardware but if using a real power host is
not an option this may be worth looking into.
