We've been talking about how to improve this as we're basically using a binary in the catalyst package to build the CD instead of building it from source. > Also I see in the releng/ > releases/weekly/specs/ppc/ppc64/installcd-stage2-minimal.spec , in the the > livecd/cdtar is yaboot,but yaboot has not been used in ppc64le . *Now the > bootloader of ppc64le iso is almost Grub*.

IIRC, I've used it to update the cdtar in catalyst sometime ago. These have quite a few hardcoded paths, make a few assumptions and are meant for building the cdtar for x86 / amd64, but they might be able to give you some ideas.
