No problem - we're just waiting for it to be shut down.  Sorry for the confusiion.

Yes rawhide generates pSeries/iSeries/mac images.

Yes it should be possible - it'll follow the same process as RHEL pretty much. First off make a mirror of the tree available at http://fedora.linux.duke.edu/fedorappc/ as rawhide is quite a moving target.  

I'll try and dig out some docs for you - I've not tried on iSeries but have installed rawhide on pSeries.

Could you give a bit more detail on what box you'd be installing?
