Next time you should use probably grep not locate:
$ grep -r boot1.hfs * | grep -v svn
boot1.chrp/Makefile:FILES= boot1.hfs
boot1.chrp/Makefile:boot1.hfs: boot1.elf bootinfo.txt
boot1.chrp/Makefile:CLEANFILES= boot1.hfs

make -C sys/boot/powerpc/boot1.chrp all install ?
You also might want to read more information about chrp:

How in the world does Debian PPC factor into the equation?

If you're really determined to use yaboot on your Mac, here's
something I popped up with a simple search:
http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-198983.html . The first
and fourth posts are the posts you should probably pay attention to.
There are also some posts on forums.freebsd.org that might be of some
use (there's a powerpc section of the forums), as well as archives for
this mailing list.
Thanks,
