PowerPC assembly languages are sufficiently similar, though.
Programming assembler is low level and therefore very compatible,
but as it is low level it is also, very machine (platform) dependant.
Which means as long as you are doing calculation everything should work
with a little tweaking. Though as soon as you need access to the
hardware you have to redo the calls to the routines, adress space,
etc... !!

Never heard of anyone actually cross assembling Apple and Commodore
programs. Eventhough they both where 6502. Just to many patches and
calls to ROM and the graphics. (Lots of work, but easier than from
scratch.) Things got really hairy with programs that used my 1 MB
80 column card!!
