You will need to purchase upgrade to Pro Tools 7.3, but your Mbox should work fine...
Have fun with new rig, I am contemplating upgrading from G4 too right now, I work at an Apple Specialist, so I have just been upgrading this thing for years... Just recently both the firewire and ethernet ports have died, so I just replaced them with PCIs...
I still use my G4 dual 1.49 Powermac running Pro Tools w/ the new Digi003. Runs like a charm. I use my laptop for selling on ebay, microwave, etc.
If the computer is going to be dedicated to Pro Tools I would go with the Mac Pro tower for more usb/firewire, and expansion possibilities.
IMHO
I haven't tried running pro tools on my pentium macbook so I don't know about that but I haven't heard of any problems. Check here.

Sometimes they suck sometimes they rule, my point is give it a try...
