I am having occasional (2-3 times a week) kernel panics, always occuring as I am putting my MDD G4(10.4.11) to sleep. I have checked the Console logs as you suggested (both ~library/logs & /library/ logs), and find no PanicReporter. I do see a CrashReporter (under ~library/logs), but cannot find "Kernel loadable modules in backtrace" anywhere.
