I Currently have iPhoto 09 on my iMac running Mavericks. If I upgrade to Yosemite, will my iPhoto be able to transition to the new Photos? I have over 400 gb in my iPhoto library.

Have a look at this Apple article -> https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204655
As you can see, you can upgrade to Photos if you are using iPhoto 8 (iPhoto '09) or newer, so you will have no problem in upgrading to Photos. You will keep iPhoto after upgrading, so you can go back if you want.
I recommend you to make a backup of all your files before upgrading to OS X Yosemite. You should also know that OS X El Capitan is coming in fall, so you may want to wait until Apple releases this version
