I know it's a bit strange, but we are looking for a LinuxPPC port for
the Motorola MPC555.
Does anyone know where can we find this port, or if it can be easily
done?
Thanks.

The MPC555 has no MMU, so LinuxPPC cannot be ported to it.
You might check out uClinux which works on MMU-less systems, but
AFAIK there has been only some talk of a uClinux port for the MPC555,
but I haven't seen any indication that anybody actually started
working on it.

The Motorola MPC-555 is MMU-less. Classical Linux ports do not support this
kind of microcontrollers.
If your OS requirements are about Linux facilities, you may consider the
uCLinux project : http://www.uclinux.{org, com} but I have never heard about
a successful uCLinux MPC-555 port.
If your requirements are less restrictive and simply about an open source
OS, you may consider other projects like RTEMS (http://www.rtems.com) or
eCos (http://sources.redhat.com/ecos). I know some guys had sucessfuly used
them with MPC-555 so you have to browse these projects development
mailing-lists.
