I don't know which version you're looking at, but it is enabled by the
current configuration.

The driver won't be built-in, as you're setting CONFIG_DRM_RADEON=m.

And it doesn't need to be built-in.  It just needs to be in one of the
module packages that's included in the installer initramfs.  I think
you'll need to create a new udeb for DRM drivers and then add this to
the package lists for hppa images in the d-i repository.
