Check on Apple's site if your G3 can boot in FireWire Target Disk Mode 
(I suspect it doesn't, but I can't remember). If yes, you can hook up 
your machines with a FireWire cable, boot them with the G3 in Target 
mode, and use a tool such as CCC, Retrospect, or ditto to duplicate 
your iMac drive to the G3 drive.

If no, install OS X on the G3 (use the same account name and password), 
then network the machines as described earlier, and use a sync tool, 
such as Synchronize Pro, to sync your folders.

Let us know if you need further help to configure your network.
