On another platform (i386) I have a setup where I can't reliably 
generate a break, and there, I use the key combo "|}{" because it's easy 
to type and rarely gets done accidentally.  To enable it, I just do:

sysctl -w hw.cnmagic='|}{'

...and it works.  Choose whatever combination you want.  Not sure if 
this will work on macppc, (I can't seem to boot mine at the moment) but 
it's worth a shot...
