From what I gather, the FreeBSD-ppc port is partially bootable, but
according to Benno, you need a NetBSD install to get it to compile, and
even then it's quite a ways away from being able to boot fully into
multiuser mode.  

So, I think it'll be a while before any of us end-users can play around
with it, but the developers have definitely cleared some of the most major
hurdles.
