I'm running two displays offa mine. Lots of folks are. you might need an adaptor or two, but otherwise, it's seamless.

My G5 2.5 came with a Radeon 9600 XT which did not come with a VGA connector, just dual DVI.
It came with an adapter that allows DVI-VGA conversion so no worries there.

Yeah, you can run dual VGA. Apple gives you one adapter, so you'd need to buy the second one.

you got it right. the new g5's come with dual dvi so you'll just need to pick up an additional dvi->vga adaptor to run your second display
