I finally managed to get it working on my own, after doing the
following steps:

1. Copy the files .config, Module.symvers, scripts/basic/fixdep
    and scripts/mod/modpost from /usr/src/linux-2.6.8-24.10-obj
    to /usr/src/linux.

2. Add the following lines to /etc/modprobe.conf.local

 alias parport_lowlevel parport_pc
 options parport_pc io=0x378 irq=7

 alias char-major-10-177 cbm
 options cbm lp=0 cable=1 reset=1

3. Do the following from a root shell:
  # rmmod parport_pc
  # modprobe parport_pc
  # modprobe cbm

The last command seemed to hang forever, but CTRL-C took me back to the shell 
and everything seems to work just fine.

Is anybody working on a GUI for cbm4linux? If not, I'd like to give it a shot.
