sure, http://www.freebsd.org/ is the site and you'll find the
documentation there too.

I think theres a port to install things with RPM's though i don't see why
you would like that funcionality. FreeBSD has a ports collection which 
probably contains most of the software that you'll find in RPM's. 

On other way to take the question is "can freebsd run linux binaries?"
if that was your question, the answer is yes!, FreeBSD has linux emmulation.

for linux? yes, i think there are several. for FreeBSD, i know there are
several.

if you mean a cross compiler that targets motorola processors, yes. you'll
find one in the ports collection.
