Doesn't seem to be broken here. A page containint a version
6 of FreeBSD is presented.

Can you be more specific with what you mean by "broken"?

Probably not. However, there are means to run the PPC version
of FreeBSD on some Apple hardware, as well as it's maybe
possible to run FreeBSD's x86 version on some x86 Macs.

However, it should be possible to use VirtualBSD within a
virtualisation environment (i. e. in a VM) on Mac OS X and
other operating systems. It even comes with the currently
popular "Mac look & feel".

It's an operating system and applications package with preinstalled
and precondigured desktop environment and custom installer, using
FreeBSD at its heart.

See: http://www.pcbsd.org/

No. You cannot install an operating system on "Windows".
