Entirely possible. I think the two big 'not on X' apps were photoshop and quark. I don't know if quark is there now, and I don't know if photoshop have released their cheaper versions for X yet. The cheaper versions [LE/Elements] didn't come out at the same time as the photoshop for X. [or does that come out next month?].
The bigger issue is peripherals I believe. Especially if you're not wanting to be using that little OS 9 app that you just can't live without. Using printers over a network and hooking up scanners are supposed to be quite poor. Digital/video cameras seem to work pretty well, nicer than on Windows. There seem to be a fair amount of games out there, but I've never tried any to see if they compare to PC counterparts.
