I have a PowerBook and a RTL8139, but unfortunately the NIC is PCMCIA
and the PowerBook doesn't have a port...

If OpenBIOS can be fixed to work around any bugs in the driver that's
already a good thing, but unfortunately the swapped BARs seem really
fishy. :(  Perhaps a property can be added for that, though (e.g.
-global rtl8139.swap-bars-for-os-x-10-4=true).
