Since this is little-endian, old "power" (ie, powerpc and ppc64) won't work.
Thus, you need ppc64el packages only.

Binary packages in ppc64el unstable main: 53512
Binary packages in amd64 unstable main: 55586

There are probably some packages that compile but don't run but that's a
tiny minority as most software is sane. The biggest exception I know is
GNOME (at least as of jessie, no idea if they fixed it since) but good
riddance. GNOME programs still work from a sane WM, it's only GNOME's
window manager part that requires either a mid-end GPU with specific
capabilities or slow software emulation, the latter working only on amd64
and i386.
