Sort of...

There aren't releases as such, yet, but there are a number of ports
floating around. Colin Charles seems keen on the PowerPC port
( http://www.bytebot.net/geekdocs/ibook/fedorappc.html : he'll quite
possibly pipe up in this discussion) and it looks like there are
development trees for S390 and Itanium (presumably aimed at keeping
Rawhide capable of providing RHEL ports for these servers).

Sparc isn't being built by the Red Hat build farm in the way that the
other ports are:

The closest you'll get, I believe, is Aurora, which is providing package
trees based on FC2 and moving towards FC3. Look at
http://auroralinux.org/#status for details.

Hope this helps,

James.
