PPC doesn't have Phobos enabled by default, so I guess that the 
package maintainer for your distribution didn't bother including 
the sources either.  Reason for not enabling Phobos is mostly 
down to lack of std.math support for the IBM real format.

Maybe there could be support for more granular turning on/off of 
individual Phobos packages.  If that sounds something of 
interest, a bug report can be raised.
