Easiest/simplest route: get something like a Griffin iMic or equivalent. The quality of the audio from the tapes is not going to be great - and this type of device works very well with any OS X audio editing program (strongly recommend Felt Tip's Sound Studio, esp. if you can locate an older version for the G4)
