Looking at the popularity of the port <http://popcon.debian.org/>, it
seems unlikely.

They still support the 68k processor (like pre-mid-90's Macs, Ataris,
Amigas, etc.). I doubt they would drop support for the even more
powerful and prevalent PowerPC, unless they plan to drop all of their
other "legacy" ports.

I don't know where you heard that, but it is certainly incorrect.
powerpc is a popular and generally well supported architecture.
