Can someone please point me to a kgdb patch for the ppc440 GP platform
(Ebony) and/or ppc440 EX platform (Ocotea) for linux 2.6.7 kernel (or other
kernel versions)?

Thanks,

kernel versions)?
My patch was applied to 2.6 (try 2.6.10 or later) that allows kernel
debugging and the in-kernel kgdb stub to work on ppc4xx cores. If
you really need a patch versus 2.6.7 you can backport the debug support
from current 2.6.

I've downloaded the linux-2.6.10 kernel source to build with kgdb but I dont
see the ppc processors listed as an option when I do make menuconfig (or
config, xconfig, etc.). I only get the x86 proc options.

What is the step I'm missing?

You are probably building from a non-PPC host system. In that case
you need to modify the top level kernel Makefile to hardcode
ARCH := ppc or pass it in via environment variable. The same applies
to the CROSS_COMPILE variable which needs to be set appropriately
when cross compiling.
