Chances are anything not supported by NetBSD won't be supported by FreeBSD
either...

However, all the 601 Macs were based around Nubus, not PCI.  They also
lacked open firmware.  The NewWorld Macs are much more widespread and
available anyway, it looks like the FreeBSD/ppc port is going to
concentrate on them (at least as far as Mac PPC hardware is concerned).
