I did this to my smurf. The board fits fine, same mounting holes and everything. You will need either the rear bezel from a g4 or or you'll have to make your own. Not a big deal. The only thing to watch out for is the front power board which is very different on the g3 vrs g4. Several others on these forums have done this mod too and can offer better advice than I can on adapting that front panel board. Its a nice mod. I love my my B&W. Have fun!
Depends what kind of G4 it is. A small PSU mod will likely be required. Though if you have a G4 Yikes (PCI graphics), its the same board, so you may as well just swap the CPU.
