Most likely the apple vbios does not provide power tables (this is probably
also why UMS options like DynamicPM don't work).  Attach a copy of your vbios
and I can take a look.  There's not much you can besides hacking the driver to
manually change the clocks.

(as root)
(use lspci to get the bus id)
cd /sys/bus/pci/devices/<pci bus id>
echo 1 > rom
cat rom > /tmp/vbios.rom
echo 0 > rom
