There is actually a good comparison of features here of 740 vs 690:

Try it out and let us know what problems you find. Full specs are available for the chipset.

I noticed that there is still a request for AMD740G chipset info almost a year later after I first posted some info regarding it. Is it in limbo now?
I doubt anybody was ever working on this. There is, however, support for AMD's RS780 chipset which might be fairly similar, so if you have 740 hardware, feel encouraged to let us know how far you get with the RS780 code.
According to my sources, AMD 740G is basically AMD 690G, but you may have to change one or two PCI IDs. That could result in a working system. I don't have the hardware, so I'm unable to test.
