For hints and config file, look at

You should use xserver-xfree86-dri-trunk_2004.02.28-2_powerpc.deb
from
http://people.debian.org/~daenzer/dri-trunk-sid/dists/dri-trunk-sid/main/binary-powerpc/

And I would suggest to use kernel-image 2.6.5-powerpc, which has
everything(including 3D acceleration) working perfectly. 

Depending on your usage of USB you may not use 
2.6.6-1 kernel-image which is a bit unstable regarding USB
