Is it possible to compile for ARM9 or ColdFire or PowerPC? Which

Short answer: no, not with Xcode out of the box.
Long answer: while there are gcc versions that do compile for ARM9 and
ColdFire, you'd have to check them out of the FSF repositories and
build them yourself on Mac OS X. Even then, you'd just have a
compiler. To actually produce running code for a given ARM9 or
ColdFire platform you'd need an SDK (headers, link libraries, runtime
libraries) for it. And then you'd need a linker. And probably a
disassembler an debugger.
Given all those, you could probably cobble them together to work in
Xcode, but you wouldnt' be able to use most of the interesting Mac OS
X-oriented features, like Fix and Continue or Zero Link or Distributed
Compile or Custom Data Viewers, etc.
So it's more than just picking a target and a compiler option. The
Xcode toolchain is highly tuned for developing Mac OS X applications.
