If I were you, I'd pull that bolt out of your intake manifold...the one where the pcv valve should be. Even if you can't rig up a proper pcv system right away, you still want to relieve the pressure in your crankcase. If that valve cover breather is where the oil fill cap used to be, I'd put a fill cap back on it. You may lose some oil from the back of your intake once you pull the bolt out, but it's better than having no ventilation.
As for the foaming, frothing oil, I don't think anything causes oil to foam besides water. When you check or drain your oil, does the oil look foamy?

I may be off, but the only difference froma breather to a pcv system is that the pcv circulated freash air into the crank case and the breather allows pressure out. I don't think you will have pressure issues ...just don't use a breather and pcv at the same times...one or the other.

the pcv pulls the crankcase pressure back into the intake, if you use a pcv and a breather cap you create a big vaacum leak
