I have 10.2 running on a beige G3, 300MHz. It's a touch slow (I think
more perceptually as it's got a very, very old, slow gfx card which is
just about non-replaceable), but until a few weeks ago, was my primary
machine. Now it runs as the mail/webserver for my network and is just
fine.
It won't be supported for 10.3, but as a machine of a similar age to
yours, I think it's done pretty well.
The one thing you *will* need for OSX more than a faster processor is
more RAM. As much as you can stuff in the machine. Makes a big
difference.
Cheers

for a serial number)
