Perhaps #if defined(CONFIG_VGA_CONSOLE) || defined(CONFIG_FB_VGA16) ?

or

bool VGA_HARDWARE

#if CONFIG_VGA_HARDWARE
    unsigned long vgacon_remap_base;
    EXPORT_SYMBOL(vgacon_remap_base);
#endif

and for the Kconfig entry of vgacon and vga16fb

select VGA_HARDWARE if PPC32
(or depends on (VGA_HARDWARE && PPC32))
