I need to transfer files from an 'original' iMac to a brand new one. The old Mac has no keyboard or mouse. Could it support a current wireless keyboard and mouse?

Assuming that "original" means a G3/CRT iMac, not wireless. The G3 iMacs didn't have Bluetooth. The good news, though, is that any standard USB keyboard and mouse will work with them, even the ones designed for Windows that you can pick up for ten bucks or so.
