The original rumours concerning Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard stated that it would be available only for 64bit Intel processors, leaving PowerPC G4, G5, and early Intel Macs out in the blue. While Steve Jobs' keynote and the preview pages at Apple.com did not speak of any hardware cut-offs, Gizmodo got their hands on a hardware requirements document for the Developer Preview release of Snow Leopard, and it contains bad news for PowerPC users.

It seems reasonable to have quick compiles on a single architecture for alpha testing; however universal binaries and wider use would provide better beta testing.
So taking this at face value means no PPC support in Snow Leopard.
There are going to be some folk who invested in some heavy weight G5 systems with, say, 8GB of RAM .... and they will NOT be happy at all.
It's early days for this debate.
