You could connect the computers using a firewire cable and firewire disk mode, and use Carbon Copy Cloner to copy the entire drive. I've done this a few times when I've upgraded machines and it's worked great.
The one time I had a problem, I booted the new computer off a Jaguar CD and did an Archive and Install to clean up the system folder, but it preserved all the data I had transferred.
Just my $0.02.

The PowerBook won't boot off of the same system as your iMac. It requires Panther, and even if you've been running Panther on the iMac, it may need different/additional files.
