as in many other things this depends on the distribution, but as far as
the gnu toolchain is concerned, the platform is powerpc.  e.g., take a
look into config.sub, "powerpc" is copied verbatim, "ppc" is always
translated into "powerpc".

i think it's ok.  anyone else wants to comment on this?  i don't even
use pkgsrc on Linux myself..

me neither, but what's true for one distribution could be completely
orthogonal to what other distributions do..  i certainly wouldn't be
surprised if it is fine on some and wrong on others.
