As part of my work on BSDInstall (http://wiki.freebsd.org/BSDInstall), 
I've produced an install CD that can set up a bootable system on Apple 
powerpc hardware. This may be useful to people trying to set up new 
machines. An ISO is here:

Because of some trouble with mkisofs, the CD is not an HFS hybrid and so 
is slightly harder to boot than normal. You must first boot into Open 
Firmware (cmd-option-O-F), and then enter:
boot cd:,\BOOT\LOADER.;1 cd:0
