There aren't any plugins from Macromedia for linux-powerpc.

Macromedia, if they were willing (and they don't seem to be).
If you're using linux-ppc, then a few web sites simply won't work (if
they're 100% flash), some will work partially (but the flash portions
won't), and most will work perfectly (since they don't use flash).
There are a couple of packages you can try installing:
libflash-mozplugin, swf-player. I've tried them but found they don't
work very well. They're not compatible with most of the flash that's
on the web, and they tend to crash mozilla/firefox.
