  No, there is no PPC version. You will need to compiled it. There are also=

some tweaks you'll need to perform for the Mac architecture. There are=20
certain differences with shared libraries/IO/etc. With GCC essentially=20
ported to OSX though, it shouldn't cause too much difficulty. If you do get=
=20
Darwin, be aware that it is a command shell only. There is no fancy Aqua=
=20
GUI. You will need to get XFree86 or something similar. I've tried it with=
=20
PearPC. Too bad networking is currently only for Linux. Once the Windows=
=20
networked release is done I can get XFree86 onto it. The thing doesn't seem=
=20
