Probably you can, although I can't say for sure because I don't have PPC.
PythonCE for HPC runs anywhere.  

Why don't you try?

Just create a directory (Python22) in CF card.
Copy all .exe .dll .pyd there.
Copy Lib and other directory in it.
Rename the Python (Python directory, PocketPCPython.exe, and .dll
 in you main memory for testing.
Try the Python in CF card.

If "import site failed" error occurs, copy site.py or site.pyc from
Lib directory to Python22 directory.

If it doesn't go, you may want to try site.py I have uploaded to Wiki.
