I think his problems are more basic, let him install xdm when X works.

You mean: "The Linux/m68k for Macintosh FAQ"?
The linux-m68k FAQ is something else and at some other place
(www.linux-m68k.org maybe?).

Why don't you install the lib then? But how did you manage to install
xbase-client without zlib1g in the first place? Do you install by-hand with
dpkg or are you using apt? You should use apt, dependency problems are
mostly handled by apt (you are using Debian2.2, aren't you?). Or dselect,
try to avoid dpkg unless you know what you are doing.

You have no xserver package installed. Install xserver-fbdev.
