I've been watching the PPC list for about a month now.  One of the 
regulars has posted a bootable iso that will allow you to get an install 
of freebsd up on a G4/G3 mac.  It does not work on G5s due to changes in 
the architecture.  From what i've read, it appears that you can easily 
get into single user and mutliuser mode works aside from problems with 
specific apps and some terminal issues.  For example, sendmail isn't 
working right. 

Its not ready for server/production use by any means.
