I don't know exactly what you're asking. Does "deep sleep" = hibernate? Or do you mean does it prevent sleep? Or do you mean does it continue to provide power while the Mac is asleep?
Here's all I can help with: Mac OS X's sleep normally deactivates USB ports, network connections, and probably Firewire (never used powered or network Firewire beyond TDM, so I can't say). I haven't used a PCI USB card.
That was a PCI-X and regular old PCI problem, according to some googling. I didn't see anything about PCIe in there. I didn't see any mention of G5s even as definitely having the problem. Not that I looked past the first page or two of google. So it may not be a PCIe issue at all
If it is a PCIe issue as well as PCI and PCI-X: There's no way to know if the problem exists on the x86 platform because there are only a handful of Mac Pros in people's hands.

Sorry I can't offer more help.
I'm asking about older mac with pci slots aka ppc 604 / g3 / g4

Is there any way to prevent that from happening? I couldn't do it on my powerbook but that's because its a laptop. I would like it if I could download things overnight and such... any remedies?

I don't think so. There may be a firmware hack (an EFI or OpenFirmware pref you can switch, but I don't think so. Although the Intel speed-step would work as a semi-sleep, sort of (nowhere near as effecient, but better than ON at full all night, and you can shut your LCD off.

Do you mean PCI or PCIe?

It is the only problem I can recall regarding an add an on card and sleep.
And this issue was fixed with a software update today, so all should be fine.
