The FreeBSD PPC port is at quite an early stage of development still,
and not really suitable for any use other than development work yet.
See:

    http://www.freebsd.org/platforms/ppc.html

There's some more up to date information on the mailing list:

    http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-ppc/

You could use NetBSD for your purposes:
