`MAC' is the symbol for m68k Macs.

OK, then this should read

From a quick look at drivers/macintosh/Kconfig, all of the entries are for m68k
and PPC Macs only.  The only thing that depends on X86 is the main menu...

There is one entry for all sorts of Macs, MAC_EMUMOUSEBTN.

You're right, I missed that one, as I used `grep depends' ;-)
