While Apple's formal requirements for the iPhone SDK is an Intel Mac running Mac OS 10.5.2 or later, one enterprising individual managed to get the environment working more or less on his PowerPC iBook.

The only oddity I’ve encountered so far is that you get 1 Warning when you build, because the target architecture doesn’t match (PPC vs. i386) but that’s to be expected. Also I don’t know if the certificates that Apple hands out once you’ve paid your $99 fee will work perfectly with this system, so for now I’d simply use it as a development environment and plan to get an Intel box running with the SDK sometime between now and June’s AppStore launch. It should be noted that I’ve got Leopard running on the iBook. But, it works!
