If you built from Intel sources for PPC so that you could use the newer compiler, then you need to recompile lsof. Specifically, /dev/kmem is disabled by default on Intel and later builds, and lsof has to use a library that lets it get kernel information through a procedural rather than a data interface. This incidently reduces lsof overhead, and also makes the output more like a snapshot, so that on a per process basis, it's more self-consistent. You could also search the boot args (there is an argument that will reenable /dev/kmem for local hacks), but I can't remember what it is off the top of my head.
