Ok :-)

Macs are now using both PPC (PowerPC) and X86 (Intel), by the way...

I think you will need a PowerPC cross-compiler to whatever OS the board 
runs (Linux?). The Mac OS X / Darwin GDC versions generate Mach-O files.

GDC 0.18 should compile out of the box on PPC Linux, I think David said.
You need to set the --target with configure, see GDC docs for details ?
