Did you compile the kernel yourself? If so, you probably need the 'kernel
sends linux keycodes' option. I don't remember precisely what the option
is (my mac at home is off). This isn't the default configuration for
vanilla ppc kernels if I recall rightly. The opposite option being ADB
keycodes, by the way.
If you want to learn more about this you could search the archives (of
debian-powerpc) from a
year or so back (maybe more...) for 'linux keycodes' and/or 'ADB
keycodes'. It was a big deal FAQ at the time, since everybody's keymap got
broken when the switch was made.
There is also some file in /proc you can echo 1 to which switches this
kernel configuration. It's called something like
/proc/.../kernel_sends_linux_keycodes...
