I own 3 G5s, 2 water cooled 2.5GHz ones and an air cooled 2.0. My air cooled one has had motherboard issues, replaced it twice. The system will freeze and the fans will ramp up to full. Sometimes it will boot and only find 1 CPU. I believe it to be a problem with the north bridge chip. In short, I'd see how it runs under OS X or Debian for a day or 2 before you decide it's a FreeBSD issue if you haven't yet done so.
