That kernel binary is still available here,
  https://sourceforge.net/projects/linux-mac68k/files/4.1.y Test Kernel/

All of the downloads that I know of can be found via links at,
  http://www.mac.linux-m68k.org/docs/faq.php#sec-8

Yes, it is.

The problem is that my kernel builds leave CONFIG_ADB_MACIISI disabled 
because years ago I found that this driver caused instability. This means 
that, for certain 68030-based Mac models including the LC's and the IIsi 
and IIvi, the 4.1 kernel binary linked to above lacks the appropriate ADB 
driver.

Without ADB, you will need a network login service (e.g. sshd) and/or 
serial console. The getty on /dev/ttyS0 or /dev/ttyS1 used to be 
configured in /etc/inittab, but I never tried that with systemd.
