Official support for PowerPC CPUs (what you have in your G4) ended with ubuntu 6.10
OS 9 has long since gone out of production. You might, however, be able to get OS X 10.5. Considering it's been more or less put out of service by 10.6, I wouldn't recommend it. Here's a list of what will run on PowerPC hardware these days: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PowerPC#General-purpose
