hope that the program can be improved with Altivec.
In another hand, can G5's Altivec unit manage double data?
No not directly.
You may want to look over the following pages if you are going to play
with a G5 or you want an idea of how to tweak GCC for better performing
code (applicable to the G4, etc.). I would consider firing up Apple's
shark tool (as the first page outlines) to view the quality of the
machine code generated.

Finally the XL C/C++ compiler[1] can produce better code for PPC then
GCC can, you may want to consider using it.
