This is not true.  Besides running OS X[1] (which is a BSD operating 
system on a mach kernel), you can run OpenBSD 
(http://www.openbsd.org/plat.html) and NetBSD 
(http://www.netbsd.org/) .  I have  not done this, but both web pages 
list Mac PPC as a supported platform.

[1] Yes, you can run OS X in an unsupported fashion on an 8500.  Aee 
http://www.macsales.com and go their OS X center and check out 
XPostfacto.
