welcome,
you can not install freebsd on the IBM PowerPC .. you have to use a system based on the kernel linux, unfortunately there is no other option.
I encountered the same problem as you. as a solution, I recommend Yellow Dog, but after a long search through trial and error, I stopped at the two distributions can tap the full potential of your server.
1. Asianux - based on RedHat recommend only that which is 100% compatible with all software under RedHat. (this choice depends on the configuration and the destination server).
2. Gentoo - I, too, and the PowerPC processor has 64-bit architecture. I have nothing to add here, from the system you already own can create anything you need. including their own distro with loader yaboot.
For my part, I stayed with Asianux, because my server business appointment. but I played them with gentoo, and was very pleased.
