Check in pnetlib/profiles, `compact' and `compact-fp' are listed.
The only difference i know of the two is `compact-fp' supports float 
point, `compact' does not.

So, yes, you can develop applications for a PPC on a "normal" computer 
using the compact framework in Portable.NET.
configure pnetlib:

$ ./configure --with-profile=compact

But you may not be able to run those apps on your PPC with pnet (ilrun, 
cscc, etc). So to actually run your apps with pnet you'll need native 
PPC (whatever processer it's using) binaries, but unfortunate I cannot 
help you with that.

Hence, all .NET (IL) applications can be run on a PPC as long as the 
references are valid (that's kinda the whole thing with .NET) (and the 
framework versions are the same as you'll need ms.net to run it).
