Um....does it matter that your kernel image is "2.4.18-newpmac" while
your modules are "2.4.18-powerpc"? I have:

% uname -a
Linux ... 2.4.18-powerpc #1 Mon Jun 9 01:31:09 UTC 2003 ppc unknown
% ls -1 /lib/modules
2.2.20-pmac/
2.4.18-powerpc/
% dpkg -S /lib/modules/2.4.18-powerpc
kernel-image-2.4.18-powerpc: /lib/modules/2.4.18-powerpc

So...the modules are provided by the kernel-image package.
Not sure how you have come to have a powerpc kernel with
a newpmac modules directory.
