  It's not possible to build on i386 without doing a proper cross-build. 
Which leads to your next question:

  You'll want to grab hold of a FreeBSD source tree. Then, cd to the 
src/ directory, and 'make buildworld TARGET_ARCH=powerpc', and then 
'make buildkernel TARGET_ARCH=powerpc'.

  'man build' and 'man development' has more info, as well as the 
developer section of the FreeBSD website.

later,

Peter.
