You should try the gentoo-ppc mailing list for PPC-specific issues. Send an
email to gentoo-ppc-subscribe@lists.gentoo.org to subscribe. Also, there is the
#gentoo-ppc IRC channel on Freenode.

There aren't really such things as "versions" with Gentoo. You could do an
install from a 3-year-old LiveCD and have xorg working "out of the box" the same
as with a brand new LiveCD.
