No reason that it couldn't be cross-compiled besides resources.

Users of older PPC Mac hardware are truly blessed by Cameron Kaiser's work on TenFourFox. The Pale Moon/XUL project is also interesting as from it there has spawned independent forks for OS X Snow Leopard and even Windows XP!

I have an old PPC Mac and TFF is not exactly in great shape, as for Pale Moon it is buggy and the original author does not like forks, see: https://github.com/Feodor2/Mypal/releases
Apart from that Feodor2 has been doing a bang up job

Yeah, TenFourFox was usable enough for banking and such but I usually disabled javascript altogether for general browsing even on a G4. And forget embedded video, modern codecs choked it.
