PPC isn't a tier-1 architecture yet, which means that PPC isos aren't produced as standard during a release. In fact, according to the PPC project page FreeBSD on PowerPC doesn't quite boot to single user mode yet -- although I suspect that report is probably due for revision, last having been modified in July 2003. See http://people.freebsd.org/~grehan/install.html for some instructions. Note: current status is not suitable for casual users, requires significant code-fu in order to use.
