Would it be that hard to get a PowerPC build running?

There is Linux for Embedded systems, its even running on the Moto RAZR phones.
However, given the choice (no price difference) I'd rather have the kernel that was built to be an RTOS rather than one that is converted to work like one. The cRIO is very expensive so I wouldn't recommend tinkering with your only cRIO (buy a really awesome desktop instead, its cheaper). If you want to tinker and install Linux on an embedded system, I highly recommend installing dd-wrt on a compatible router. It's low risk and you get some amazing features.
