In my case, after I got past the initial install than I treat my PPC
mini-mac install pretty much the same way I do for all my other
FreeBSD installs.  Of course, that's no guarantee that you won't
run into other issues.  In particular, I don't run X11 on *any* of
my FreeBSD machines, so I don't know what the state of X11, KDE,
or GNOME is on FreeBSD/PPC.

Hopefully it will work fine for you, and it'll be worth all the
initial trouble in setting it up!   :-)
