As mentioned, there is no such thing as FreeBSD distributions.  Also
FreeBSD is not ready (yet) for the Mac.  If you want to run a BSD on
your Mac (other than Darwin/OSX), you may want to try NetBSD or OpenBSD.
They have ppc ports, and I have ran them both on an iMac.  

Checkout  http://www.netbsd.org/Ports/macppc/ and
http://www.openbsd.org/macppc.html
