I haven't tried NTP classic yet.

Making sure our stuff worked on Big Endian gear seemed important enough that 
I got a Mac-mini from eBay.

I think the Mac-mini suggestion came from a NetBSD list.  I haven't figured 
out how to install their code yet.  I tried FreeBSD.  It installed OK, but 
then hangs when booting.  I was a bit surprised when I stumbled into Debian 
running on PowerPC but it just worked.
