I wouldn't worry about future software not running on your existing Macs
any more rapidly than it has been happening anyway. (i.e., you can't run
10.3 on a beige PowerMac G3; you can't run 10.4 on a pre-firewire Mac,
etc.)

Apple and third party vendors will continue to provide apps that run on
PPC probably until the last shipping PPC machine (and Macs with PPCs in
them will continue to ship into early 2007) is at least three years old or
so, maybe longer depending on how this really rolls out. By the time your
dual G5 is no longer supported it will be pretty old.
