The short answer is;
Yes... what you're doing (iBook in target disk mode, connected to G4, use Disk utility to make a disk image of the iBook HD) will work just fine.
I prefer using Carbon Copy Cloner....
You can set it to repair permissions before the clone also. (and yes, you could do the very same thing with Disk Utility).
Back in 10.2.x, I had some trouble getting clones I made with Disk Utility to be bootable once the image was cloned BACK to a machine.... so I switched to CCC and haven't looked back. I almost NEVER have trouble getting a CCC'ed image/drive to boot unless it was pretty well fubared to begin with.
Hope this helps!
