It has:  http://packages.ubuntu.com/raring/crossbuild-essential-powerpc

Burning Thumb, install that package. Then you will be able to compile your
hello world with:
  powerpc-linux-gnu-gcc helloworld.c -o helloworldppc

(ie. replace "gcc" with "powerpc-linux-gnu-gcc" in normal instructions
for compiling a program)
