The 54/64xx machines, like the PERFORMA class machines, use valkyrie
video.  It's a bit of a stretch to describe it as non-PCI based, though.
You should be able to get the base address from OF along with the video
mode and have a minimal video console just from that.  You'll note how
little code there is in MkLinux to support it.  It's not a fully
functional driver in that it can't change resolutions, but it should get
you started.
