SPICE does not mean QXL, you can use SPICE without QXL.
Why QXL is not compiled for PPC I have no idea.
Recently there were quite some compatibility patches for big endian machines,
should work mostly out of the box (I have only some minor patches for the agent).
Officially only x64 and x86 are supported.
