I don't know about that.. It sounds like we're doing so on purpose, or in an excluding fashion, but really PC is just what we happen to be working on. coreboot could definately work also on other machines with dynamic busses, but there is less motivation since they don't have the same firmware situation.
I think the statement is a bit strong as well. The person who did the coreboot port did so because he felt coreboot+openbios was a better setup. He even demo'ed the whole thing at usenix one year, booting to linux.
But PPC has been ignored since that person left, so it seems not worth the effort.
