The ppc arch of the kernel tree was not well maintained in the Red Hat
kernel source for the release that used the 2.4 kernel (Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 3).
I would be surprised if it built, and I'm fairly certain it would not
run.

That being said, Red Hat makes a business in developing its products for
other platforms and might consider the work on a contract basis.

Is there a particular reason to use a RedHat kernel?

I would suggest using the ELDK (from denx.de) if you are looking for a
stable kernel on which to base your product/project.
