The fan driver is in the kernel. All distributions including a recent kernel (All current PPC distributions, in fact) do handle it. Fan drivers for G4 desktop and G4 laptops (iBook G4, alBooks) are also included.
Also, Apple made the right design about cooling in their G5: if nothing drives the fans, they go on full throttle (which makes for a quite noisy workstation ;-)
