 They've got an SRPM that can be rebuilt for PPC.  Scroll to the bottom of 
this page, second item up:

http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/mysql/4.0.html

 Download, run:

# rpm -Uvh MySQL-4.0.20-0.src.rpm

 Edit the files in /usr/src/rpm/SOURCES/, or the .spec in 
/usr/src/rpm/SPECS/.  The compiled-in data directory should be someplace.
 When you're done tweaking, run:

# rpmbuild -ba /usr/src/rpm/SPECS/MySQL.spec

(or whatever the .spec file is called, I forget)
 That'll generate a modified SRPM, and binary RPMs.
