Does anyone know how I can cross-compile software for a 1999 iMac G3 with a PowerPC processor? Are there resources on how to develop for this CPU and is there any community around it?

Are you putting Linux on it, or are you looking to run MacOS?

If you're doing Linux, doing a GCC cross tool chain (with a tool like crosstool-ng) should be a good start.
