Question

Can any mac device like Power Book G4, Mac Mini etc. be upgraded to Mac OS version 10.6.x?

Arkaaito is right, read the right hand column on the Apple site and you'll see that any intel cpu will do.

No.

Apple states the following basic Snow Leopard system requirements are:

Mac computer with an Intel processor (IA-32). "Yonah" processors such as Core Solo and Core Duo can run only 32-bit applications; later x86-64 architecture processors such as Core 2 Duo will also be able to run 64-bit applications.
1 GB of RAM
5 GB of free disk space
DVD drive (also accessible via Remote Disc) or external USB or FireWire DVD drive for installation

10.6.x (Snow Leopard) can be installed on any Intel-based Mac, and not on PowerPC-based Macs. PowerBooks are the latter.

-1: This is not true, if the computer doesn't meet the specs mentioned by @KevinBallard, you can't upgrade it. – Wuffers Jan 27 '11 at 0:05
