If you can't switch tty, you can always boot in single user mode to change
the permissions of /etc/init.d/xdm as Dave pointed out. Since you're using
an old world mac, I assume you use BootX. Simply add the word 'single' to
the kernel arguments, and boot into Linux to change the permission. You
can then remove it again, and boot normally, but without X starting
automatically.
Hope this helps
