Well it appears there are actually some people working on porting FreeBSD to the powerpc. There is even a mailing list http://docs.freebsd.org/mail/archive/2000/freebsd-ppc/ but it has VERY few messages in it. So it seems progress is not too far along. It's obviously only something for hackers right now. So someday in the future perhaps. But NetBSD www.netbsd.org has current support for G3,G4 and such. Also OpenBSD www.openBSD.org has a pretty new port for it.
