You can just use the framebuffer driver. I did that with my TFT imac
(NVIDIA GeForce2 MX) until the nv driver was usable.

You boot the kernel with the openfirmware driver and XFree86 with the
Framebuffer driver and it works, forget any hardware acceleration, but
you will be able to use GNOME/KDE/any other Linux Desktop.
