Support for USB 2 doesn't come into play until either Jaguar or Panther, so a "2" card under OS9 would function as a USB 1. Whether there are compatability issues with using PC based cards would depend on whether drivers are required for the card to function, and whether it is manufactured to meet the CHRP standard. This could be a "buyer beware" situation unless you have specific guarantees on compatability.
FWIW, I have a StarTech 4-port USB card in an S900 running 10.3.9. It works fine in OS X, and does not appear to exist at all in OS 9. To be fair, OS X is specified as a Mac system requirement. So, if you don't particularly need USB in OS 9 (I don't, but I wouldn't have objected if it had worked!), this is an expensive candidate (~$12, I think).
