Because you are moving from very different architectures and probably different OSes, you may run into a incompatibility issues. Doing a mass migration makes that much harder to figure out what might be causing them.
If you aren't under time pressure and have both machines available. I'd start from scratch on the intel imac (nuke & pave) and install what you need manually. Test each thing out, make sure it works, etc. It may take longer but it will minimize the headache if you run into a problem. Chances are you have stuff on your G5 imac that you don't need any longer, so why bring it over?
