you could probably hide the message by changing /etc/syslog.conf but that would also hide other more important kernel messages and fill your log. To get rid of it grep for "Unexpected IRQ" in arch/m68k/mac/ and remove the printk. BTW most printk's, especially in interrupt code should be protected by a static static counter to ensure they don't cause more harm than use..
