I don't know for sure, but I don't think either of those machines are architectures currently supported by FreeBSD; right now your best bet is a x86 or Alpha-processor based machine. (This mailing list is for discussion of a port to PowerPC processors, which is not yet usable.) From the FAQ: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/faq/hardware.html#ARCHITECTURES If you need a BSD-style Unix for those computers immediately, I'd suggest looking at http://www.netbsd.org/ .
