There are some (rather terse) docs at:
http://www.debian.org/ports/powerpc/inst/pmac

The bootdisks still complain that "your architecture is not supported" on
many machines. Until that's fixed, you may have to use the old-style
install, as described in the FAQ-o-Matic:
http://www.dartmouth.edu/~jonh/lppc-serve/cache/572.html

If you're installing on a new model Macintosh (iBook, iMac 350 or DV,
PowerMac G4 w/ AGP video), you'll find the following helpful:

  Yellow Dog Linux install instructions for new-world macs
  (usefule if you need to use the old-style bootstrap described above):
  http://www.yellowdoglinux.com/support/faq_solutions.shtml

  iMac Linux's installation info for the new (slot-loading) iMacs:
  http://www.imaclinux.net/

  Ben Herrenschmidt's kernel patches for new-world macs
  (this page has the latest versions; the ones at YDL are dated):
  http://ppclinux.apple.com/~benh/

Good luck.
