Since a number of Fedora developers where given XO 1.75s last summer, getting Fedora builds for those people might be a way to get more testing. (Yeah, they mostly use Fedora stuff now, but they don't use a Fedora kernel.)
I have been testing OLPC builds, but that wipes my customizations, and I'd rather do more normal Fedora testing with it.
Fedora kernels don't support them because they're not all up stream and we don't have support for OFW even where their kernels are upstream. That being said you can use Fedora relatively easily while still doing an initial install with the XO image and getting XO kernel updates but still receiving standard Fedora updates and installing all the other standard Fedora stuff using yum. I documented it here:

It doesn't seem like OF would be that hard to support, given PPC and sparc both use it, and it isn't -that- different then uBoot.

Probably not too hard to support but I believe PPC support is via yaboot (or maybe now grub2) layered on top of OFW rather than directly supporting OFW.
