ADB support was added fairly recently and is only available on
-current and hasn't been MFC'd to -stable.  On the G4 you'll probably
want to run the following at the OpenFirmware prompt to make the CPU
run at full speed:

dev /cpus/PowerPC,G4 at 0
set-dfs-high

You can find powerpc -current ISO images at
pub/FreeBSD/snapshots/200812 on most FreeBSD ftp mirrors - I can't
find any newer images, they don't seem to have been built for powerpc in
February.
