I can't answer the agp thing, I just build with it. It provides absolutely nothing though, except a mostly useless /dev/agpgart (my machine is a single MDD). However, system gcc on ppc is 4.2.1, just like on every other architecture. The ports are broken, though, last time I checked. I've managed to build gcc 4.4.0 successfully with some hacks, but nothing worth sharing.
