It's hard to predict the future, and even harder to guess how difficult a task this would be.
I would argue that a PPC Linux version in principle wouldn't be too much trouble, if the seperation of concerns between CPU architecture and OS reliant code was conformed to.
Unfortunately I'm not sure this is the case. It's really anyones guess, but I wouldn't hold my breath to be honest. Is it that much of an issue tho'? Why would someone want to run Linux on a Mac anyway? It is my understanding that Mac OS X comes with a Linux compatibility layer anyway, allowing you to execute PPC Linux binaries natively on OSX.
Ofcourse you might want to run it on one of those IBM boards, but I doubt there's much of a market for it unfortunately.
Is there something I'm missing?
