can I physically intall aperture on a computer that does not meet the system recs, or is that impossible?
Yes and no.
Technically, no.
There's workaround hacks you can use to install it if you Google them. Or maybe someone else has a link. So, yes, you can.
Truth be told, though, on my G5 (dual 2.0 ghz) with a 9800, it's a bit sluggish once you start applying multiple effects. I wouldn't try this without a Core Image capable card. So, no, it's sort of pointless to install it on a machine that's not to spec.

the cutoff may/may not be at Quartz Extreme compatibility
The cutoff is a Core Image compatibile (aka programmable) graphics card, with the exception of the 5200fx, which excludes almost all G4's except for a few of the PowerBooks which had better cards.
