repository of pre-compiled packages for powerpc?

[Nathan Whitehorn]

There are some older unofficial packages at 
http://people.freebsd.org/~nwhitehorn/powerpc-10-packages. I'm currently 
setting up an official build machine using a quad-core POWER8 system, 
but need to work through some performance issues.
