AFAICT, this is fixed with version 1.16 of
http://cvsweb.netbsd.org/bsdweb.cgi/syssrc/sys/arch/macppc/dev/akbd.c

I haven't had the panic related to this occur since using this version of
akbd.c.  Unfortunately, there's the other problem of the brightness keys
(F1 and F2) which reset the power manager (and thus shut off the machine).
