You may want to try this 
http://geekounet.org/patches/files/therm_adt7467.c.2.6

rename it to therm_adt7467.c, put in drivers/macintosh.
Edit drivers/macintosh/Makefile and add the line

obj-m					+= therm_adt7467.o

Then make modules, make modules_install, modprobe therm_adt7467.
You should then have a fan working nicer (starting at 50°C instead of 69).

optionnally, you can specify an intermediate fan speed with
modprobe therm_adt7467 fan_speed=X (X between 1 and 255).

This module should be merged by BenH sooner or later...

HTH,
