I think this is not implemented yet.
But what you can do is autoboot into FreeBSD and then the speed should 
be at full 1GHz. At least this works on my G5's.

You must set the boot-device to the FreeBSD partition and then reboot 
w/o OF intervention.

This is on my G5: 'setenv boot-device sd1:2,\\:tbxi'

For details how to find the boot-device arguments see at the bottom of:
