I think just like on Amiga PPC boards, the PPC on a Mac is surface mount.  Probably not easy to scavenge... and even if you did, even harder to re-use.

I have an old PowerMac 7200 I saved from a junkbin.  Not much of use on them.  Some older Macs had SCSI CD ROM drives and SCSI HDs to steal and re-use.  Barring that, not much to scavenge, really.  The RAM and floppy drives aren't compatible with too much.  At least not on the pre-G3 PowerMacs.

Best bet, if you don't want to trash it outright...  run PPC linux.  If you can add an extra NIC, it would make a nice firewall, or something.
