Gentoo on ppc with GXT6500P Gfx?

Hey I have a

IntelliStation Power 9114 Model 275 1.45GHz Workstation

1-Way 1.45GHz Power4+ Processor (5223)
2GB Memory (4x 512MB Dimms) (4447)
GXT6500P Power Graphics Adapter

and was told that there would be trouble installing the powerpc version of Linux on it due to the video card.

I was going to go with AIX as a result, however, I could not find a version on Ebay to buy.

Would the ppc version of Gentoo work with this setup?

Or can you recommend another version of Linux that does cope with the video card on the ppc architecture say Yellow Dog?

Regards
