apt-get does work in chroot, I have used it many times. Since that
part of your problem is not powerpc specific, you might try post it on
debian-user to get more help.

You should be able to get apt-get to work correctly within the croot
and also install ssh.

While you are in the chroot, read the syslog to verify that the system
boots correctly.

While in the croot you could also mount the MacOS partition and copy
vmlinux and initrd.img to that partition for use with BootX. I thought
that the kernel would be able to fix modelines when it takes over.
That might be wrong in which case booting with BootX would likely fix
it. Another workaround would be to try change the modeline with fbset.
You could add a

"fbset 800x600-56"

to a script that is run at boottime.

I have no opinion on the forth code you mention. I would try less
disruptive ways to work around the problem before I tried it though.
