sword is ~ppc (ppc development) on Gentoo and builds and installs fine
on my system (I don't know how to use it so I would not know whether
it actually works though this is highly probable).  http://rpmfind.net
does not return any PPC hit for it (though there are some SRC RPMs for
Mandrake--they may or may not build on YDL).  As for gnomesword I
cannot find any PPC package whatsoever (ebuild or RPM), so I guess you
will have to compile from sources by hand no matter what you use (and
then inject it in the portage tree on Gentoo to keep your dependencies
sane--do that on an RPM-based system).
