Apple were not the last company to produce mainstream PowerPC based hardware but most since have been "locked" i.e. Xbox360, Wii, Wii-U, Playstation3 etc. and unlikely to get ports of MorphOS.

So what is instore for the future for Mainstream HW for MorphOS? Support for emulators such as QEMU and PearPC?

Should it attempt to "unlock" itself from the PowerPC architecture?

Isn't the G5 little endian only?
Nope, it's Big Endian only. Where other PPC's are pseudo Bi-Endian.
