NetBSD comes with XFree86. I'm not certain quite what version they're
using (all I now is I gots winders and my .twmrc that I've been using
for years works fine).

AFAIK FreeBSD doesn't support the PowerPC. I'd be happy to learn that
I'm wrong. Hmm, I see there's a PowerPC port after all, but it's only
supporting New World macs. That leaves out our Beige G3s.

OpenBSD also looks like it's only supporting New World macs.

And I just want to make certain you've taken a look at:

        http://www.netbsd.org/Ports/macppc/models.html#g3v1
and    http://www.netbsd.org/Ports/macppc/models.html#g3v2

I'm not saying don't try it, I'm just saying that here there be dragons.
