Craisin,

Unfortunately there is no official native Flash player that I am aware of for the PPC architecture. The official Adobe Flash package is only written for i386 and x86_64. You could try one of the unofficial Flash players such as Gnash, but your luck will be hit or miss here as Gnash isn't 100% compatible with Adobe Flash even on i386/x86_64 computers.

You may also want to try something like this link suggests. Best of luck to you!
