apt-get install kernel-source-2.4.25 kernel-patch-2.4.25-powerpc
tar xjf /usr/src/kernel-source-2.4.25.tar.bz2
cd kernel-source-2.4.25
zcat /usr/src/patches/powerpc/debian-powerpc.diff.gz | patch -p1 --dry-run
Should do just fine. Well, the path are from memory, please check them.
There is also a way to automatically patch the kernel tree with
make-kpkg, and also a way to use kernel-tree instead of kernel-source.
Read the documentation of kernel-package for more details.

the patch is in powerpc/debian-powerpc.diff.gz, and is against the
debian kernel-source tree.
