I would say it would be needed. It's a way of finding bugs that i80x86 hides, or that aren't major bugs in i80x86.
I suppose that I'm joining this a bit late, but wouldn't it be safe to assume that the more systems we're successfully running on, the better? If the ReactOS system can support the Win32 API on multiple architectures, that'd be great, regardless of what manufacturer is using what brand / model of processor.
Besides, keeping the PowerPC support means that ROS can run on the Xbox 360, PS 3, and new Nintendo system... IIRC, they're all slated to use the IBM PowerPC processor now, too. And they will be decently well-priced units, with more processing power then in any computer that I have in my apartment, that's for sure.
Also, there are people that will retain the Macintosh units that they have today, for the next several years to a decade. Most of the people that I know don't upgrade until they come across the dire need to do so.
