From installer/doc/devel/menu-item-numbers.txt:
7000 apt-setup
pkgsel
7300 palo-installer (hppa)
grub-installer (i386)
yaboot-installer (powerpc/powermac_newworld, powerpc/chrp*)
quik-installer (powerpc/powermac_oldworld)
zipl-installer (s390)
arcboot-installer (mips)
delo-installer (mipsel)
silo-installer (sparc)
vmelilo-installer (m68k/vme*)
glantank-installer (arm/iop32x)
7500 lilo-installer (i386)
7600 elilo-installer (ia64, i386)
7700 nobootloader (all)
Looking at that there are two options:
- change grub-installer from 7300 to 7400
- change yaboot-installer from 7300 to 7200
Both will work, but not sure which is to be preferred. I guess the first
option is most straightforward.
And that would still leave powerpc/powermac_oldworld. AFAICT grub should not
be installable for that. Which also reminds me that you did not really
address this question:

Preferably, grub should not be offered for _any_ powerpc systems it does not
support. Looking at libdebian-installer/src/system/subarch-powerpc-linux.c,
the only subarch where grub should be installable is powerpc/chrp_pegasos,
so it looks like this could easily be solved in grub's debian/isinstallable
file.
