What's interesting (for us pd users) in the PS3 is more the 7 SPEs (the cell's 
coprocessors) than the graphics card, unless you wanted to use GEM. This 
thing has massive floating point processing power.
As far as I know, the Yellow Dog-based PS3 Linux distro will ship with gcc for 
the main CPU and for the SPEs, so porting pd on it would make a lot of sense, 
but it would be more complicated to do it right than just recompiling the 
vanilla sources.
