There are a ton of VME PowerPC boards out there and some RS/6000s that might be able to run FreeBSD as well. What is the goal of people on this list? If its just mac-powerpc perhaps that is the way to go? Of course if Apple actually releases a Mac based on PPC-970 [64 bit PPC CPU] then we might get more confusion with Mac-PowerPC. :) Technically I think PPC is fine, powerpc is better but it may not really be more specific :).
