If you have an existing install that works on your ppc, check if your
toolchain supports 64bit:
$ vi test.c
int main() {
return 0;
}
$ gcc -m64 -o test test.c
If it compiles w/o complaining you should be able to build a kernel for
powerpc64.
Your .config has to include:
CONFIG_PPC64=y
CONFIG_PPC=y
With this kernel built, install image and modules onto a usb stick, boot
up and install arch and configure this kernel & modules for your
preferred bootloader. Indepth knowledge about this procedure can be
found all over the place I'm sure. ^^
