You can grab the package at
   
ftp://ftp.fr.debian.org/debian/pool/main/x/xserver-xorg-video-ati/xserver-xorg-video-ati_6.6.192-1_powerpc.deb
and install it with dpkg -i <filename>.deb

you won't probably need to upgrade anything to satisfy dependencies for
this new driver.

Let me know if you need more help.
