http://e-www.motorola.com/brdata/PDFDB/MICROPROCESSORS/32_BIT/POWERPC/MPCFPE.pdf

contains a powerpc instruction set listing.  This is essentially
what the assembler takes as input.

Since you've got the info files installed, you can learn about the
"non-opcode" parts of the assembler syntax from there.

Interestingly enough, we have a NetBSD port to the MPC8260.  How
far along are you?  We were planning on eventually contributing it
to the community, but I have not yet gotten around to it.
