Basically no.

FreeNAS is an operating system not an application. It is not designed for the powerpc architecture at all.

If you're talking about using your old Mac as a client then sure. I don't see why it wouldn't work, but if you are thinking about using the old Mac as a FreeNAS box, then forget it

No. Try using a power pc build of any Linux or bsd distro and roll your own, but that is a woefully underpowered system to be a real server
