YouTube won't work directly - there is no Adobe Flash for PowerPC Linux.

Since Adobe Flash is closed source - there's no direct replacement either. There are two open source teams working on reverse engineering Flash from its specifications - gnash & swfdec - but both are fairly bloated and slow.

Several folks around this forum have a workaround. You can either use a Firefox plugin called Download Helper to save the YouTube videos to your hard drive - which is what I do - or use mplayer plugin per this post:
