 1: Can freeradius do a certificate authentication? (ie: we give each 
 user a certificate that the machine gives for auth)

if your access point supports 802.1x then yes, you can use this method
with freeRADIUS. The clients-machines must have an 802.1x client 
(supplicant). Use EAP-TLS on freeRadius.

 2: Can i use all three (ie: i give server cert, it asks for user/pass 
 and verifies against cert, then checks MAc addy. All must match in 
 order to auth.)

Depending on the Access Point you might be able to check the MAC-Addy:
add it as a check-item if your AP sends the client MAC (usually the
calling-station-id attribute. Not sure if you can mix username/pass and
certificates, but thats getting real paranoid!!

 I know it seems like a bit much but these are public networks and 
 would like to keep unauthed use to min. Thanks for any input.

If its a public network, then certificate-management and MAC address
management might be an issue that you may want to consider: each time 
your user uses a different card, or computer you need to re-configure 
his MAC address. You also need secure ways of providing certificates to
the user, revoking certificates etc. MAC spoofing is trivial on most 
systems so you may want to stick with username/pass or EAP-TLS (secure, 
but needs 802.1x support in the AP, and a little work on the client 
machine to install the certificate).

I am currently looking at implementing freeradius to authenticte wireless users. My 
questions are this

1: Can freeradius do a certificate authentication? (ie: we give each user a 
certificate that the machine gives for auth)

I know it can also do user/pass and MAC auth so question 2 becomes
