Yeah ppc64 term still it is big endian, despite little endian from power8, but i not sure what this ppc64 is meaning for our hero tle.

Only POWER ISA 2.7+ and Little Endian only at this stage. I do plan to support Big Endian but the amount of work would be triple (POWER8, POWER9 and POWER10 fast paths all need to be carefully revised and tested).
Both BE and LE paths are supported as of Firefox 153 release
I wish I could offer support for PPC970/PA6T but lacking of real hardware would make it very hard for me to pick up many issues.
MPC7500:
You could do it via QEMU. But yes, you need someone to test. Cameron has the hardware, IIRC.
But yes, it's more important to make it work on le. I dislike Chromium.
ClassicHasClass:
I have a Quad G5, but it runs Tiger, and I am not likely to run Linux on it. Similarly, my POWER6 runs AIX.

OT: Then this is for you 8)
