	Yes. In the toplevel source directory, settings.pro.
Up near the top of that file you will see a block
release {

which contains some platform-specific stuff. If you are using
the latest version of the file (i.e. from CVS) you will see
some macx { blocks which help the source compile on OS X.
You will need to add similar blocks for ppc compilation.
You will also need to add DEFINES += WORDS_BIGENDIAN
(I have not created endian-ness patches for MacOS X yet)

	MythTv uses Qt and qmake for its configuration,
which are not "automatic". Configure is only used
for two of the libraries that MythTV uses (libav*).
