I have a 2002 G4 Quicksilver 933MHz and I also have 2 300GB hard drives coming my way. I'm trying to figure out if the QS will support the new HDs or am I going to need to buy a controller card, and if so do they support HDs greater than 300GB. From what I hear traditional macs only support up to 120GB. I also read that the maximun size partition possible is 137GB. Could someone please verify/clarify this for me?

You're in luck. The Quicksilver 2002 revision, although it only has an ATA/66 controller onboard, was the first PowerMac line to support 48-bit addressing for hard drives. Therefore it'll support any size hard drive that is compatible with the ATA bus. Anything before the Quicksilver 2002 is limited to using only 128 GB of any drive you install, regardless of the partitioning scheme.
