what is interesting is that linuxbios works on PPC.
So a full linuxbios->openbios->your code exists, if anyone wants to put it together, that would be all open-source.
Everything that is needed has already been merged into the OpenBIOS tree (currently only in BK, not in CVS) The ppc architecture code of OpenBIOS already has a dummy target for an MPC107 board, like the Embedded Planet EP405pc which is supported by LinuxBIOS. It probably needs some fiddling to get everything working on real hardware, but we're really close now.. If somebody wants to look at this, please do!
I actually have the MPC107 board I added that target for (a PowerPC 750 CPU on a PCI card). I wrote the POST stuff for it some time ago so it should be simple enough to get OpenBIOS running on it.
