I think that's what I suggested to do last time.

These apps should be fixed - the assumption that each architecture has
apmd is fundamentally flawed.
The argument 'some apps expect to be built against libapm' rather suggests
a different approach though: get the libapm and libapm-dev packages to be
built from your source on powerpc. Is it possible to have different source
packages (on different architectures) provide the same binary packages?
Aside from the version numbering mess, of course...
