I got rid of the mac OS that came with my PPC box and replaced it with Debian Wheezy.
After Wheezy had been installed, there were a few things I had to apt-get in order to acquire the full toolchain needed to build perl.
Once that was all done, building perl was quite trivial - just run Configure with whatever args you choose, followed by 'make', 'make test' and 'make install'.
I didn't even try to build perl on that machine while the mac system was in place - so I probably have no experience that can help you in that regard.

If you haven't installed the OS yet, you'll find the Deb Wheezy images for PowerPC at http://www.debian.org/releases/wheezy/debian-installer/
I don't know what sort of mileage the other Linux flavours offer wrt PowerPC - I guess we might find out something more about that if you install a different one ;-)
I'm interested to hear how it goes for you.
Cheers, Rob
