That page is very unlikely to contain a version of Thunderbird for PPC 
linux. You can download a version from:

ftp://ftp.de2.freshrpms.net/pub/linux/freshrpms/ayo/yellowdog/3.0/ppc/freshrpms

At this moment, it's not the most recent (0.6.1, most recent is past 
0.7.x by now).

As an alternative, you could add this url (or any of it's mirrors) to 
/etc/yum.conf and then use yum install thunderbird.
