I don't know about any debs of Xpmac, neither do I think it would make any
sense as it's only a binary which you can put anywhere you like.
Or if you really want to you can alienate an RPM or even install it directly
with rpm. ;) You'll have to adapt /etc/X11/Xserver or your xdm/gdm/kdm config
in any case.

Just install communicator-smotif directly. 'apt-cache search
communicator-smotif' will show you the available versions.
