It actually worked well after a few minor fixes and answering "no" to using the LATEST packages instead of quarterly. Took a few hours whereas it generally finishes a lightweight desktop in about 20 minutes on bare metal with a fast Internet connection. Lumina is apparently broken on powerpc64, but LXDE worked fine. It fails to start from XDM, but this may not be powerpc-specific. I've seen issues like this before due to changes in the desktop env's startup scripts. It starts up fine using startx. The working version is in my work-in-progress collection: https://github.com/outpaddling/freebsd-ports-wip If I had a Mac G5 I'd do more testing, but it will probably work with a supported video card.
