potato sure does, you need to be a bit creative in initial bootstrap
if you don't have a CD, potato's CDs are going to boot it (i can tell
you how to make them) also look at

http://www.alaska.net/~erbenson/debian/ 

for the missing sections of the install and bootstrap setup.  and

http://www.alaska.net/~erbenson/ybin/ 
http://www.alaska.net/~erbenson/doc/yaboot-faq.html for yaboot/ybin
info (both are in the base system now)

you should also check out the debian-powerpc list for discussion
centered around powerpc hardware.
