With command:

aptitude -v show tor 

you can see all the versions of the package tor that aptitude knows
of. If you want to install particular version, you can install it with

aptitude install tor=<version_string>

Note that this may cause the dependencies also to be updated or create
some conflicts to be solved if the versions in repository are not
matching to each other just now. The latest versions available in
official debian archives (for powerpc) are: 
squeeze (stable): 0.2.1.29-1
wheezy (testing): 0.2.2.32-1 
sid (unstable):   0.2.2.33-1 
experimental:     0.2.3.4-alpha-1

So, add the repositories you want to the apt's sources.list, ran
aptitude update and they should be available. Beware that you don't
accidentally update all the packages in your system. Unstable may be
unstable to run and experimental doubly so. See apt preferences file for
information on how to select preferred distribution to be used in the
case where you have multiple distributions mentioned in the sources.list
