USB 2 controllers are supported. Please note that the uhci controllers are 
not supported in GENERIC by macppc, so you might want to be careful when you 
buy a 3rd party USB2 controller to make sure that it has ohci companion 
controllers. However, the only reason uhci isn't enabled is that noone has 
actually tried one in macppc. It should work fine.

In answer to your question, yes, it will work.
