Yes, there are plans to undertake a PowerPC port.  I'm not sure what real
progress, if any, has been made toward that goal yet.

It's interesting to note that two RTOS's are already using large portions
of the FreeBSD networking code on PowerPC and Apple is using some FreeBSD
derived code within their OS-X project, also on PowerPC.  Check out the
news page at www.freebsd.org for more hints from Apple.

I expect the greatest difficulties will be dealing with VM issues.

Cheers,
