...actually, Linux/PPC has had updates for proftpd up for a while (I believe they have it up to pre8 or pre9 right now). But seeing as it was a stock machine, they didn't apply any of the security updates.
The PowerPC port was originally done by Gary Thomas ages and ages ago on I believe early PReP machines. It was later expanded to CHRP and PowerMacs. The BeBox port hasn't gotten too far along. There are stable, but UP kernels for 2.0.31 or so, and there is a test kernel for 2.2.something. However, the Be port just hasn't had anybody with a machine and the time to do all the needed work. In short, Alan wasn't totally correct.:)
If they just have to edit the pages them selves, teaching 'em a simple GUI ftp proggy (for graphics) and give 'em a HTML editor that can save to FTP sites. BBEdit does for MacOS, and I'm sure there's a few for windows as well.
