There was an attempt by the Leopard WebKit author some years back but didn't work out apparently:
https://morph.zone/modules/newbb_plus/viewtopic.php?forum=3&topic_id=9462&start=13https://morph.zone/modules/newbb_plus/viewtopic.php?forum=9&topic_id=9950&start=40> he's done a lot of work on PowerPC-ifying its JIT JavaScript VM.
As "PowerPC-ifying" a JavaScript-to-x86(_64) JIT compiler essentially equals rewriting it from scratch, the TenFourFox author did exactly that, i.e. rewriting a JavaScript-to-PPC JIT compiler from scratch :-)
