Hey, 

I've got an Xserve as well and have been working at trying to get it
working with FreeBSD. I've been using the instructions for the NFS
booting and install. The problem I run into is that the PCI bridge code
doesn;t seem to like the onboard bridges (KeyLargo and some Intel
PCI-PCI bridges), so resource allocation gets all mixed up. I think I
actually have a dmesg somewhere from it.
