first, I noticed something very strange: if I connect remotely to the PowerBook, then set DISPLAY :0 which shows things on the screen, glxgears run!
Running GL applications through X forwarding is completely different than running them locally. When going over the network, there is no DRM and hardware acceleration. You can take this as a measure. Also, if GL would support rendering over the network, it would most likely happen on the server (in X speech, i.e. the machine you are connecting from) and not the PowerBook. But again, DRM does not work over the network.
But running it in a real local xterm, doesn't work. This is the crash: Starting program: /usr/bin/glxgears [Thread debugging using libthread_db enabled] Using host libthread_db library "/lib/powerpc-linux-gnu/libthread_db.so.1".

It looks like you are using software rendering anyway. What does "glxinfo" say? Can you paste the output here? Also, have you installed the firmware-amd-graphics package which contains firmware necessary for many AMD/ATI cards? If I remember correctly, the firmware is needed on the G4 laptops with a Radeon chipset. Adrian -- .''`.
