Of course -- but I'm not sure I remember specifically....

In gdb/testsuite/config I see sim.exp and sid.exp

In /usr/share/dejagnu/baseboards I see many *-sim.exp 
baseboard description files including powerpc-sim and 
powerpcle-sim.

As well, I see /usr/share/dejagnu/config/sim.exp

Hope these get you somewhere close to the answer...
