Of the options given, PPCG4 is the most non-specific.

Atlas gives me the following options: POWER3, POWER4, POWER5, POWER6, POWER7, PPCG4, PPCG5. I would like to know which one of these is the most generic architecture, so that the atlas package thus modified will work on all supported machines. I guess this is either POWER3 or PPCG4, but it is unclear to me which one is more generic. Or maybe none of the two encompasses the other, in which case I would like to know which one would be the best choice from your point of view. BTW, if you could answer the same question concerning the ppc64 and powerpcspe ports, that would be great.
