The Crescendo/7200 is a PCI card, so you could probably hack it to work as
a PPC with RAM on a PCI card. However, Microcode Solutions
(www.microcode-solutions.com) is developing just such a card, and
apparently will support MacOS X on an Intel box as well as 3rd party
developers which would be a better bet.
