Can't say I've heard of PLACE.  PLAN is an old donkey from National 
Semiconductor, and is probably not worth your effort.  You might be able
to scratch up a copy from your local NatSemi distributor, if you make 
the right noises.

OPAL is a commercial product.  I have seem the Jr. given away with a
few programmer products, not aware of any Net sites for it.

AMD have put at least one version of PALASM into the public domain.
Try an archie search for it, otherwise mail me, I have a reference 
somewhere.  

If you're using Atmel parts, I think  you  may be able to twist your
distributor's arm to get a copy of an OEM version of CUPL for Atmel
stuff, its useful, certainly moreso than the above options.

Another pretty lame option is Prologic, which your TI disti may still
have on hand.

I'm not aware of any university project-type stuff that produces a
useful file format for PAL programmers, such as JEDEC etc.
