Leopard is Universal Binary so yes, Leopard and all the features will work on your Power PC PowerBook G4 (except the Boot Camp 2.0 drivers on the Leopard DVD which you will have no use of).
Apple hasnt fully dropped support for PPC yet. the requirements for Leopard are 867 MHz G3 or better.

Actually I think at least one of the features that requires a faster processor may exclude your Powerbook, depending on on model. The only one that I currently remember is the "improved deinterlacing" in DVD player, but I doubt this is would hold anyone back from upgrading feature-wise. Cheers.
Everything in Leopard will work but DVD deinterlacing and a transparent menu bar (depends on Mac).
However, in iLife '08 you can't use iMovie '08 (since it was brought up).
It's a great upgrade from Tiger for a PPC machine. My 1.5GHz 1.25GB 12" PB runs better with Leopard than it did with Tiger here as well.
