Yes you can. Go to the apple store website. On the left hand side there's a column called 'accessories'. Click on 'Music and Audio'. Somewhere down near the bottom of that page is a device called 'iMic USB Audio Interface', made by Griffin.
This is, certainly in the UK, the cheapest option for audio on an iMac. It costs $34.95 and provides minijack input and output. It can handle mic and line level sources through an input toggle switch.
I can't say whether it's any good because I haven't ordered my iMac yet, but I'm guessing it must do the job...
Hope this helps.

By the way, good to know it ain't just me who ends up feeling shattered after working on laptops! For some reason I also angle my back, without realising, into a really bad position when typing on them. Probably because it's a flat keyboard.
You're right, the iMac was a bit of genius in terms of collaboration. I'm going to use mine with a USB TV adaptor, so I'll just be able to swivel it round and sit comfortably when I'm fed up working!
