I am about to be driving my 914 home without a clutch cable. I've done this before in other cars, but not in the 914.
What rpm's should I be aiming for when trying to shift into the various gears? |

The RPM needs to be matched to the MPH with regard to the gear ratios (including final drive). So there isn't a number to tell you. It depends on how fast the car is traveling and which gear you're trying to go into, and whether you're going up or down a gear.
