There's two different ways.  The first is that someone needs to run
koji-shadow on it it so it builds the RPMs built in the primary koji.
The tags might need to be adjusted before that can happen.

The other way is just as a package maintainer.  It's really no
different than using the primary koji hub.  The only thing you need to
do is point your build/scratch-build at this hub instead.  You can
either create a separate koji config pointing to this hub, or just use
the -s option:

koji -s http://ppc.koji.fedoraproject.org/kojihub build <whatever>

It's setup to use your existing Fedora cert already.
