No, it will not work. 
Not in the 64 bit version because PPC is compiled for G5's and 64 bit.
Also not in the 32 bit version because it is compiled for G5's and will
crash on G4 or G3 chips.

I guess I can add a 32 bit PPC version for G4 and up in the 64 bit
version. 
This might look strange but because all G5's are 64 bit I didn't add a
32 bit PPC version and therefore there is room for a 32 bit version that
supports G4 chips without the optimization for G5's.
If you are interested I will try to do this, in that case contact me
directly by e-mail.
