Well, the wiki says it supports the PPC series MPC74xx, MPC4xx and MPC7xx. The CPU built in the Mac Mini is a MPC7447 (revision B I believe), so I think it should be supported, shouldn't it? The wiki also says the Motorola northbridge MPC107 is supported. According to this page ( http://e-www.motorola.com/webapp/sps/site/prod_summary.jsp?code=MPC107 ) this chipset seems to be only suitable for older CPU up to the MPC7410. I couldn't find any information about the chipset used in the Mac Mini. But as Apple is just an OEM, it should be from Motorola/Freescale as well.

Can you send the output of "lspci -vvv" running on Linux on a Mac Mini?

The output of "lspci -vvv" is:

The short answer to your question is no, it's not supported. If the mini is like other Apple machines then getting chipset documentation is impossible. Of course, with the appropriate documentation, a mini port would be relatively straight forward.
