I believe that Mac system uses a Motorolla MC68000 series processor.
Sorry -- it's not supported under FreeBSD.  There is support for PPC
based Mac systems under development, but that support isn't yet
available in any FreeBSD release version. See
http://www.freebsd.org/releases/5.0R/hardware.html for the latest
supported system types.

On the other hand, perhaps this will be of interest:

    http://www.netbsd.org/Ports/mac68k/

However, you'll probably find that the LC III is extremely tight on
disk space and/or RAM. If not impossibly tight.

	Cheers,
