For the mac, there exists no directory in the install folder, ie

It would be if emile was used on the ISO to make it bootable; but I
don't think it can already do that.
EMILE can, but it needs to copy a driver from an Apple bootable CD,
that is not compatible with Debian policy:

You can also use EMILE from a floppy to load kernel image from
the ISO:
http://emile.sourceforge.net/SNAPSHOT/cdboot-sarge-0.11CVS.bin.bz2
Is that driver redistributable? We could build a non-free image.
I should ask Apple to know...
We can still use the boot-floppy with network install or boot-floppy
with CD install. I believe that this works on all mac m68k, not just
those that came with an Apple CD-Rom. And the boot floppy images can
go on install cd's, you just need some way of writing the floppy, eg
DD. I would put instructions for MacOSX / windows / linux writing of
the floppy with USB drives.
It is unlikely that Apple will release the driver under GPL, this is
what Debian policy requires for inclusion in offical images. AFAIK
