and what about if we mass-email blizzard to make a port of diablo and StarCraft for ppc?

Age of Empires was succesfully ported to PPC, and the first Age of Empires game for PC was released 2 years after StarCraft, so, i think those game can be ported to PPC with no problems, unless of course, if Blizzard wants...

AoE is a Microsoft game, Diablo/Starcraft isn't.

The point is Blizzard does rightfully so not see a market worth going through the pains of porting over all of the DirectX code, and all the x86 tricks they may have used, while MS, owner of AoE and PocketPC platform would want to push it as much as possible. Don't bet on it, an original RTS (like Argentum) would be MUCH better than some port of a crappy game like StarSuck.

Keep in mind that they have never made a shooter, especially a console one. Theres many factors where they could possibly mess up.

Why are we assuming that if in a bizarre case where Starcraft is ported, Blizzard will actually do the porting? I think that if ZIO did it, there might actually be a chance of it being released.
