I upgraded by Mac to OS X while still using Quark 4.2. I didn't really have problems. There's a patch you'll need to get for picture boxes, it tends to freeze up when you move a picture in the box, but the patch seems to fix it. You'll also have to relearn where the fonts are for OS X. In native X products it keeps the fonts in a different location, but for the classic mode its uses the old location.
We also had old version of Photoshop (5), Illustrator(9) and Acrobat(5) and they all worked fine under OS X. Oddly enough, the only thing we had that would not work under OS X was SuiteCase, but we had a greatly outdated version (I think it was version4?). We also didn't play around with it much to see if we could have gotten it to work.

What's being used out there for Font management? We literally have hundreds
of fonts that apply to thousands of (live) ads. We've been using ATM Delux.
I'm considering upgrading to OSX (just my machine) and run it in classic
modeonce I feel comfortable with everything working out ok on my machine
then I'll upgrade the department. Then update I'll only have to upgrade
Illustrator and Quark. Is Pagemaker being discontinued (in your opinion)? It
seems that it's the only Adobe product not OSX compliant.
I'm thinking of getting a "side grade" InDesign.
needless to say I'm confused.
