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).
