PS3 was a build target when Yellow Dog installation was still possible, and Mac PPC is still supported. So it's just a matter to move the source to the PS3 and to compile it and it should work out of the box, with no changes to the source.
However, I'm not sure if the architecture will be detected automatically (probably not) or if you have to slightly edit the makefile (probably yes)
