Yep that's correct, OS10.5 Leopard is the last edition which will run on Power PC's but two things to bare in mind here and this is from my own personal experience with Leopard on a G4 Ibook.
Performance is very sluggish compared to the Intel machines. Second, if you can I would certainly advise you to upgrade to an Intel Mac and take full advantage of everything extra that Snow Leopard offers the Voiceover user and the selection of enhancements are huge, everything from enhanced surfing on the internet to far better Voiceover performance and accessibility for software. there are some very nice deals on Mac machines going round so you may like to contact your local apple reseller or search on Ebay, I know someone who picked up an Imac 20 inch 2007 model for $500.00, that's a giveaway and I ought to know! I'm using the same model right now <smile>.
