To what extent are these projects related? Not that I know anything about it but I would say quite unrelated. FreeBSD/PPC will try to port the FreeBSD kernel to run ontop of PPC hardware as opposed to darwin which is a FreeBSD derived kernel running on top of Mach on top of PPC. FreeBSD/PPC is likely to be oriented towards embedded platforms rather than PowerMac, esp as more documentation of the hardware tends to be available. Hopefully some 3rd party PPC machines will emerge soon, perhaps based on IBMs motherboard designs they released.
