Actually if it's stock Linux the uname detect should pick up the BIGENDIAN=1 automatically.

This times a million. On official PS3 Linux (which, for the benefit of the OP, was a fully supported SDLMAME target) performance was similar to that of an Atom netbook, which is to say pretty poor. And that was with a 1:1 sized window, so OpenGL will not help.
Note also that MAME/MESS are lousy with endian assumptions so a lot of drivers will simply not work when compiled for PPC, and there's no PPC backend for the DRC so Killer Instinct will run seconds per frame.
