It has more to do specifically with whether or not it's a PCI-based system. If it's a NuBus-based system, then you will need the kernel at nubus-pmac.sf.net. Note however that the most recent NuBus kernel is 2.4.5 or 2.4.6-pre[something]. Takashi Oe has not been maintaining it of late. Is anyone looking at taking up the mantle? I tried to adapt the patch for NuBus support to a more recent kernel, but I could never get the bastard to link.
