I emerged timidity++-2.13.2-r2 and timidity-eawpatches-12-r4 on my gentoo linux ppc64, and it worked well playing midi files. May be they could be marked "~ppc64".

timidity++ has a use flag for portaudio, which didnt compile for me. We'd have to mask out the flag i guess. thoughts?
I didn't do anything about changing the programs, I emerged them, played with midi files, and it just worked.
Marked timidity++-2.13.2-r2 and portaudio-18.1-r3 ~ppc64
