I guess it could be possible, but would it be worth it in the long run? The iMac G4 is a very dense computer as it is, you'd have to measure a Mac Mini to make sure it would fit, gut the housing of the iMac, then you have cooling and display compatibility issues...

I suppose it depends on how experienced you are, and if you're willing to put quite a bit of time and money into it...
