I think the current version of Xorg can auto-generate modelines, so just eleminate all modes but 640x480, set it to interlaced, set vertical refresh to 60Hz (or 50Hz if you have a PAL screen), set horizontal refresh to 15kHz in the monitor section of /etc/X11/xorg.conf .

I should be trying to run a PSOne screen under linux myself soon.

Edit: These are not exact instructions, you should probably read the man page for xorg.conf and use what I said as a guide.
