Nope. FreeBSD only works on x86 machines and Alpha's.

You should try NetBSD or OpenBSD though. They are both based on the same
Berkely source that FreeBSD is.

http://www.netbsd.org/
http://www.openbsd.org/

Basically NetBSD concentrates on supporting more platforms while OpenBSD 
concentrates on security.
