That should be reasonably well supported by the powerpc64 port. We at 
least run well on POWER8 and POWER5+ systems. The one potential issue of 
which I'm aware is that the on-board SCSI controller on some IBM systems 
doesn't have a driver yet. You may also have trouble if you want to run 
X, but that's probably moot for a server.
