The reason this isn't being built as part of the pp release process is that it hasn't been determined what the mkisofs switches are to create a bootable hybrid 9660/HFS image and also deal with the hard links that FreeBSD creates without blowing out the size beyond a CD. So here's a call to action for ppc hackers: experiment and see if you can work out what the magic incantation is. Start off by looking at the scripts in src/release/powerpc. later, Peter.
