I can tell you this much, there isn't any "nv" driver built on PPC:
[stew@powerbook-cooker stew]$ ls /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers/
ati_drv.o fbdev_drv.o mga_drv.o s3virge_drv.o trident_drv.o
atimisc_drv.o glint_drv.o r128_drv.o savage_drv.o vga_drv.o
chips_drv.o linux radeon_drv.o sis_drv.o
So if that is indeed the one you need, you'll need to try and build from
source. If it is the correct driver, I can try to include it in the next
update, if it will build.
