If what you are really trying to find is the 4k extended config space,
then there are some platforms that support that on some slots.

If you are trying to find the mmio address for your adapter, then the
answer is I am not aware of any PowerPC platforms that provide that,
although I am not familiar with the embedded processor platforms nor
the pci express Apple boxes.

The config access support is in arch/powerpc/kernel/rtas_pci.c,
the setting of pci_ext_config_space is at arch/powerpc/kernel/pci_dn.c.
