The compiler is trying to use RTL/packages units compiled by a native  
ppc compiler (most likely the ones globally installed on the system).  
Those cannot be used by a little->big endian cross compiler. Try  
instead something like this:

make OPT="-n -Fu~/fpcinst/usr/local/lib/fpc/2.1.4/units/powerpc- 
darwin/* -O2 -vei -ap" FPC=~/fpcinst/usr/local/lib/fpc/2.1.4/ppcppc  
clean all

(-n to prevent the compiler loading the global config files)

(i.e., only the i386 versions of those libraries are installed on the  
system)
