Nope.  From the FreeBSD homepage:
FreeBSD is an advanced BSD UNIX operating system for the Intel compatible
(x86), DEC Alpha, and PC-98 architectures. 

(In other words no powerpc)

But NetBSD does.  Where their motto is "Of course it runs on NetBSD"
See www.netbsd.org/Ports/macppc     or
http://www.netbsd.org/Ports/macppc/models.html

OpenBSD development code will run on G4's (presumably G3's)  but not the
powerbook yet.  Hope that helps,
