I'll give it a shot.

You could when at the end of the install, instead of finishing the
install, ask for a shell and download the yaboot from wheezy and
install it.

Something like:

drop to shell:

# chroot /target
# apt-get install wget    (in case it isn't there already)
# cd /tmp
# wget http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/pool/main/y/yaboot/yaboot_1.3.16-4_powerpc.deb
# dpkg -i yaboot_1.3.16-4_powerpc.deb
# rm yaboot_1.3.16-4_powerpc.deb
# exit
# exit

You should be back in the installer menu.  At this point try the boot
loader step again and see if it works now.

I did not test those steps so hopefully I remember correctly how the
installer behaves.
