I hope that your solution to this annoying problem will make it in the tree.
Because it would be so great if XFree86 would just work on NetBSD/macppc. I
am willing to test it of course with my PM7300 and its ATI Rage 128GL.

Did I understand that right that even leaving XFree86 will work properly and
makes the console usable after that?
