This has been well documented & is no surprise.
The upgrade as discussed below is a bit of a no brainer especially when there will be no more upgrades to the previous PPC version.
There is already a Motion update, so I’d suggest you send off your install disks asap.

As below, no, but wouldn’t it be nice if Leopard could switch between the two like users?

A MacBookPro should do fine. As I said, I haven’t tested the firewire port with FCP, but I’m sure it works as there would have been many posts here & on other forums. Do a search for how to connect an external drive & camera together as the MBP only has one firewire 400 port.
You can plug another display in, just make sure it has a DVI conector. I had no problems plugging one of my 23inch cinemas in to the MBP.

Also check out SanMP, which is volume based so you have to unmount/remount to see new files or
MetaSan which is file based.Both systems do not need a dedicated metadata controller so the most expensive thing is going to be the FCS.

I’ve been running 5.1 on my MBP and G5 without any problems. Can’t say I’ve printed anything to tape off the MBP yet though as most of my work is for broadcast. OK you lose the ability to use AE filters but that’s the only wrinkle I’ve found so far.
I would NOT buy any PPC based Macs from now on unless
a) You really, really need a Quad now
b) You get a stupid deal off Ebay or the refurb storeIf you can, try to wait until NAB where the intel/FCP roadmap might become a bit clearer.

I’ve used CatDV and it seems ok, but the search is only as good as the logging info you put in. You can browse fine though.

10 uncompressed streams out of two XSR?
Ummmm…

You will get a more detailed answer on the Xsan forum, but rule of thumb is one XSR per HD client
In fact I would tailor your questiions to the specific forums, eg Automatic Duck
