Well, I'd call the MkLinux Booter non-viable.  The only one really viable
is BootX, the open-source app that works for MkLinux, but was written for
LinuxPPC originally.

In the meantime, the original poster could consider MkLinux.  It's not
BSD, but it is....  (Take a look at the drivers, the vm system.... ;-)
It's just a bit different in userland, but not that hard to get used to.
