I imagine that 1) using a PPC mac will not be supported, and 2) you 
may not be able to connect to the iPhone hardware with a PPC mac. 
There is a reason they make that a system requirement.  If it works in 
the mean time have fun, but expect that at a critical point it will 
fail.  If you are just playing around that may be fine, if you plan to 
build commercial apps, I would not rely on that long-term.
