I am assuming that you want to cross-compile the kernel from an i386 machine 
to PowerPC. If you are using debian, add the following lines to 
the /etc/apt/sources.list

#cross-compilers
deb http://debian.speedblue.org ./

and then just do a

apt-get update
apt-get install gcc-3.3-powerpc

There are probably precompiled packages for other distributions as well...
