Technically, this isn't an installation issue, but a configuration issue.
Just FYI for future bug reports.

I'm not sure what the state of the world is DDC-wise on PowerPC's.
iMac monitors are, I would guess, fairly standard 15" multisync devices;
why not just try telling debconf you've got a 15" monitor in the "simple"
configuration?
E.g., "dpkg-reconfigure -plow xserver-xfree86" as root.

A copy of your /var/log/XFree86.0.log would be great. Though if you truly
set your VertRefresh "range" to exactly the value 60.015 I'd bet heavy
money that that's causing a problem.
I'm copying my reply to the Debian PowerPC list; those guys are very good
at troubleshoot Mac/XFree86 problems.
