I've fitted a drive from a MacBook into my Flower Power G3. It's certainly possible. It's not easy. I've bodged something together but realistically, how practical it is depends on what tools and materials you have to hand...
The DVD drive I got has screws of a different type and with different placement from the CD drive from the iMac. It's physically smaller in most dimensions. The DVD drive has no "meat" in the right place for the screwhole on the CD adaptor board to be of any use. Compared to the CD drive, the DVD drive is skeletal. Care has to be taken than anything you do does not foul the visible mechanisms. Very careful measurement is required to get the slot to line up with the case.
