I have a PowerBook G3 Series running 2.6.8-powerpc and there's nothing about sound in my /etc/modprobe.d/aliases file. However, I do have a separate file /etc/modprobe.d/sound that contains these three lines: options snd device_mode=0660 alias snd-card-0 snd-powermac alias sound-slot-0 snd-powermac There are many lines in /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base -- do you have alsa or another sound system package installed? I also see that I have snd-powermac as one of the lines in /etc/modules, so I will try commenting it out and see if sound still works. I apparently haven't relied on it autoloading on this machine.
