I saw pictures of a G4 with a media card reader as you describe in an 
eBay auction a few months ago, but I don't know the details.  I think it 
was a standard PC card reader, though, to fit a 5 1/4" drive bay.  You'd 
need one of the PC card reader with a cable that's routed out back 
through the PCI cover plates to the rear USB ports, though.  A lot of 
the internal PC card readers plug into pins on the motherboard, and I 
don't think you'd be able to use one of those.
