What is the preferred way of accessing non-PCI devices then? Direct
pointer access?

No direct pointer access is bad. On PPC You can use
in_be{8,16,32}/out_be{8,16,32}

What about arch independent drivers? Are there any generic approach
for this or do you have to stick to ugly #ifdefs to decide between
in_be32/inl ?

I'm curious, could you give an example of such arch independent 
driver?

Such #ifdefs are found in drivers/net/smc91x.h
