As I pointed out earlier, PPC works without any PCI support.

Everything is possible. Do you have a patch?

Hmm looking closer at your previous log I begin to think the problem is not
about PCI at all. Here's a sane snippet:
(II) LoadModule: "pcidata"
(II) Loading /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/libpcidata.a
(II) Module pcidata: vendor="The XFree86 Project"
compiled for 4.0.2, module version = 0.1.0
ABI class: XFree86 Video Driver, version 0.3
Yours failed right after the third '(II)' which looks like it is in the loader
code. Maybe something is wrong in the module metadata, similar to the error
you got now?
Can you build a static server (#define DoLoadableServer NO in host.def) and
run it in gdb?
