Found this today myself. For some reason the conf file is pointing you to a /usr/local... installation of yaboot instead of the /usr... path where it really lives.

Provided that the rest of your yaboot.conf file is correct, you can correct the magicboot/install lines to:

magicboot=/usr/lib/yaboot/ofboot
install=/usr/lib/yaboot/yaboot

All should be well at this point. You'll still get the /dev/nvram error message, but it will ask you to confirm writing to your bootstrap partition and carry on as expected from there.

Cheers.
