It seems the problem is that module-assistant does not install the kernel-kbuild-2.6 package and even if it's installed manually, the necessary symlinks from the headers to kbuild scripts are not made. Another problem is that kernel-images do not have corresponding kernel-headers packages, i.e. there's kernel-image-2.6.9-powerpc, but only kernel-headers-2.6.9 (without the -powerpc extension), so that module-assistant does not find the correct headers by itself.
