repository of pre-compiled packages for powerpc?

[Rick Thomas]

I’ve installed FreeBSD 10.1 RELEASE on a PowerMac G4 Quicksilver.  It seems to work reasonably well, but the pkg command seems to have a problem finding its repositories…   Am I doing something wrong?

Compiling ports takes *lots* of time on this decade old machine (700MHz, single core, 1GB RAM) — not fun!

Thanks!
