It shouldn't be very difficult since libffi already supports PPC Linux.  I 
don't know for sure, but I suspect that NetBSD and Linux share the same 
calling conventions.

It may be as simple as adding the appropriate case to the configure script. 
 Here are the existing PPC cases...

powerpc-*-linux* | powerpc-*-sysv*) TARGET=POWERPC; TARGETDIR=powerpc;;
powerpc-*-beos*) TARGET=POWERPC; TARGETDIR=powerpc;;
