You need java for ppc:
ftp://ftp.nluug.nl/pub/os/Linux/java/jdk/JDK-1.3.1/ppc/FCS-02a
chmod a+x j2re-1.3.1-02a-FCS-linux-ppc.bin
./j2re-1.3.1-02a-FCS-linux-ppc.bin
PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin:/usr/libj2re1.3.1/bin:
cd /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins
ln -s /usr/lib/j2re1.3.1/plugin/ppc/mozilla/javaplugin_oji.so ./
