Doesn't the tdfx driver work?
The major problem that I'm having is that the keyboard isn't
mapped properly. The mouse works, so I can logout when I
use startx, but I can't log in if I use gdm (or xdm for that
matter). I can't do a ctrl-alt-del to kill the X-Server
either, as it isn't recognizing the keys properly.
The Xkb extension doesn't work on PPC yet (a fix by Kostas is on the way :).
Add Option "XkbDisable" to the Keyboard Section.

Beyond endianess problems the tdfx driver uses PIO which isn't
working under ppc right now (and unless the kernel people decide
on a way to export iobase to userland some time soon PIO might
take a while until it gets supported)

The default xkb rules were missing mac info, you can get the patch from
http://entropy.crashing.org/~howarth/XFree86_v4.0/SOURCES/XFree86-4.0-keysym.patch
which fixes that and also cleans up the macintosh symbols a bit
