Jup. I run those patches and they work for me. See also
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=746272
You however need to adapt some paths in the patches in order to apply them
on top of mesa-10.3. With the patches everything works just fine for me
although I have the impression that my iMac G5 is overall "way slower" than
with wheezy.
The endianness issue itself has been dealt with upstream, but noone is
working on adapting the r300 driver to use the new infrastructure. :-(
