Sort of, the firmware knows only about ADB keyboards but you can get 
away without one although that's a lot of work - like adding an OHCI 
card with a USB keyboard, install MacOS 9 - older ones won't see the 
USB card, and even MacOS 9 only knows OHCI - and use some MacOS tool to 
keep OF from attempting to boot through AAPL,ROM (that's what boots 
MacOS) so it would drop you on the serial OF console.

good luck
Michael
