For the deps you listed, probably not. At worst, something with or 
about autorun and/or kio-mac won't work.

Yes. Or run correctly.

If you don't have a fast Mac, turn off KDE eye-candy.

Well, nothing against BenH's benh kernel, but I tend to stay with the 
main ppc branch and even the kernel.org branch if it's known to have 
included the ppc updates. The 2.4.18 kernel.org is pretty up-to-date 
for instance.
