It seems Apple has simply disabled this, as you can enable it with this trick:
- Plug in a FireWire camcorder and open iMovie.
- Switch to record mode, as if you are going to import from the camcorder.
- Unplug your FireWire camcorder from your iMac.

You would actually decide NOT to buy a G5 iMac just because iMovie can't ("out of the box") record from the camera?!?! First of all, there are tons of apps that will record video from the iSight (EvoCam and QT Pro, for example). Secondly, how many uses are there for recording what you are doing in front of your Mac? Keep in mind that you can't adjust the angle of the built-in iSight very much (or zoom at all).
