Try running the OS9 keyspan installer from classic. It just adds some
extensions, as I recall. You'll need to restart classic afterwards (of
course).
You can actually drag and drop the classic system folder from your imac
to the PBG4, and then use the "classic" preference panel in OSX to
designate the newly dropped system folder as your classic system
You should then be able to start it up (from OSX).
Paul G. has clearly stated that there are some advantages to running
under OSX, particularly the fact that Hammer behaves a little better.
So this seems to be a workable way to go.
