[TriLUG] Freelance consulting for me

How hard would doing this same task in RHEL for PPC be? You could shove RHEL in an LPAR and do that if it's considerably easier.  

Installing RHEL 6 in an LPAR:

Red Hat Software Collections documentation (for getting newer versions of things like PHP in a more sane way):
https://access.redhat.com/site/documentation/Red_Hat_Software_Collections/

That way you help the organization in question stick with the AIX they know and presumably like, but you get your software in a maintainable/manageable way.

Cheers,
