Hi,

First add the universe pool, you'll need it, here's the needed info
http://www.ubuntulinux.org/wiki/UniversePackages for doing this.

You'll have to compile the needed packages from the debian source.
At the terminal type the following command:

"sudo apt-get -b source <packagename>"
( without quotes, replace <packagename> with the needed package )

This command compiles the package from source, if there's a source-deb
available in the pools.

If it states for missing packages, than try

"apt-get build-dep <packagename>"

This command will install all needed packages you need for compiling the
package "<packagename>". Maybe this command states too, that there's a
depency problem, then there may be no binary package available for the
depency-package too. So you'll have to compile this package also from source
with the command above.

Be aware, that if you use apt-get, synaptic should not run, as they both use
apt to install/remove packages.

As not all packages, especially kde-stuff, are available as binaries for
ppc, you'll have to compile many packages, so be aware of that.

I compiled almost the complete KDE 3.4 on my TI from source as I needed
Kdevelop 3, and that was no fun ;-)
