I thought you downloaded the ISO's and then extracted them on another
machine which was available via FTP. 

I think the other responder is suggesting you download the install tree
using something like rsync to mirrors.kernel.org/fedora/core/5/ppc/os
instead of of using ISOs as an intermediate format.

Since your only problem seems to be that the filesnames were truncated,
you could make a list of RPM's are trucnated based on the file extension
(or lack thereof) and just rename them. Mac OS X has a more reasonable
filename length limit of 255 characters, regardless of their ISO
mounting issues.
