Found an ISO which sort of works: k-mib-ppc-beta-pre8.iso.  I 
downloaded it from one of these mirrors:

ftp://ftp.uni-kl.de/pub/linux/knoppix-mib/
ftp://ftp.samizdat.net/pub/knoppix-mib
http://download.vie-privee.org/
ftp://download.vie-privee.org/lafil/
ftp://ftp.apinc.org/lafil/
ftp://ftp2.ael.be/mirrors/ftp.vie-privee.org/lafil/

It's still beta and a lot of things are missing, but it does boot.  I 
put notes on my wiki page towards the bottom:
