If you are familiar with Gentoo based systems I would recommend [1].

debian:
(on x86/fedora development system) (used on 82xx)
1. debootstrap with the --foreign
i.e. debootstrap --arch powerpc etch http://mirrors.kernel.org/debian
mannually create an inittab, create/copy some default /dev entries
2. boot 74xx target with above root filesystem, run
/debootstrap/debootstrap --second-stage
Now add in packages using apt-get (or add them initially in step 1)
