Unfortunately, no. FreeBSD's main goal was (is?) to be the best x86
UNIX-based server available. Other platforms, namely SPARC and Alpha, that
are widely used for servers are slowly being supported.  A mac will either
use a Motorla 6800x or a PowerPC proccessor (newer ones, such as an imac,
use PowerPC); both of these are not supported.  The best alternative would
be NetBSD.
