I use my Happy Hacking PS/2 keyboard on a G4 (running Linux) via a
PS/2->USB converter, no problems.  When I boot up MacOS under MOL, the
key that's mapped to Windows works as the Cloverleaf/Command/Apple key
and alt is alt/option, just like it should be.  Going the other way, for
fun, I've plugged the Mac USB keyboard into a 'doze box too, keys map
that way too.
