Unfortunately it is not :< Next PLD version should have working ppc
installer but don't expect it soon. If you want clean install try
installing in fresh partition as chroot using poldek and then try
booting from it. You will have to manually upgrade fstab and friend
though. Installing fresh chroot using poldek is fairly easy:

  poldek --install-dist /foo/bar/chroot --mkdir rc-scripts bash...

The easier possibility is to install MDK or other rpm-based distro
(LinuxPPC is rpm based?) and upgrade it using poldek, until rpm -qa --qf
'%{DISTRIBUTION}' | grep -v PLD will show nothing. But this is
probably what you did.
