Thanks for all the answers so far. If I understand the responses correctly I've got a number of options. What I think I'd like to do is...

The drive is already formatted as APM. As needed I can back up my PowerPC iMac (10.4.11) via Carbon Copy Cloner to the first partition. When I get an Intel Mac (10.5.x) I should be able to connect it to the hard drive and using Carbon Copy Cloner back it up to the second partition. The PowerPC iMac will be able to boot from the first partition if necessary and the Intel Mac will be able to boot from the second partition if necessary. Correct?

Thanks.

Correct. Additionally, the PowerPC iMac should also be able to boot from the second partition with the 10.5.x clone from the Intel Mac if you ever need to.
