Freebsd wont run on a g4.
Try netbsd - http://www.netbsd.org
The page for your g4 would be http://www.netbsd.org/Ports/macppc

Some people find linux easier to use when starting out than bsd so if you
ever want to try linux check out yellowdog linux
http://www.yellowdoglinux.com or debian http://www.debian.org
