I don't think so.  After all, if you look at what I put in, you see:

>> Versions:
>>  1.4.9-2.1(/var/lib/apt/lists/ftp.us.debian.org_debian_dists_unstable_
>> main_binary-i386_Packages)(/var/lib/dpkg/status)
>> 1.4.6-1woody1(/var/lib/apt/lists/ftp.us.debian.org_debian_dists_stable_
>> main_binary-i386_Packages)

i.e. that there's a version in stable and a version in unstable.  I then
go to p.d.o and look at gnome-pim, and I see:

} Package gnome-pim
}
}     * stable (utils): Calendar and address book for GNOME.
}       1.4.6-1woody1: alpha arm hppa i386 ia64 m68k mips mipsel powerpc s390 sparc
}     * unstable (gnome): calendar and address book for GNOME
}       1.4.9-2.1: alpha arm hppa i386 ia64 m68k mips mipsel powerpc s390 sparc

i.e. that the version in stable and the version in unstable are both
available for the powerpc.

So I don't think your problem is that you're on a PPC.  I suspect your
problem is that you're strictly tracking testing (which, as a side
comment, is fairly safe now, but won't be after the release).
