I am still interested in the answer to this question:
is it possible to get a boot menu on a PPC Mac that allows you select from several partitions on the same hard
drive, which one to boot from - all partitions have FreeBSD on them?

That would allow me to run bot FreeBSD 8.x and -current on my PowerMac G5.
