Doesn't power running usually equate to man-to-man schemes, rather than zone-run ones?

Style of running game and blocking scheme are two different things.  You can power run with either a man or zone blocking scheme.  I would argue that most NFL teams use zone blocking much more than man blocking.

While neither this (nor anything else) is definitive, here is a description of the NFL power run game that roughly matches what I was taught.

Different than the zone-based schemes we see on Sundays, the power game is designed to create specific running lanes with lead blockers at the point of attack that work to the second level of the defense.
