The ISO is located at http://people.freebsd.org/~grehan. There's also some other things there too. Some people have had great luck with it and others not so great luck. It mostly just depends on your hardware. You also won't get a full blown ready to use OS. The port is still in the works. I highly recommend you read through the FreeBSD-PPC mailing list archives to see what hardware seems to work and what doesn't. Some say it's easier for them to cross-compile on one machine and do a network boot. At any rate, read the archives. They have a lot of good information in them.
