Almost certainly. I have used old 640x480 stuff and I now have two 21 inch Apple Monochromes working just fine.

Earlier G4's came with a 3 row 15 pin to 2 row 15 socket adapter. There are a couple of subtleties in the pinout though and a "standard" VGA to Apple monitor adapter may not be exactly right. The worst that can happen with an incorrect adapter is that your monitor will not be recognized as an Apple unit but it might well work anyway.  A dealer can help or ask me for the pinout and heat up a soldering iron.
