You can. I would leave a bit more for Linux, myself -- 2MB or even a bit
more. I keep /home in a separate partition (actually, it's a separate
drive, now) from root, and there's swap space in there as well. The
various installation guides (YDL and LinuxPPC) give various possible
partitioning schemes and I'm sure everybody on the list has their drives
set up differently, but just remember that Linux is a lot more flexible
than the MacOS as far as what lives on which partition or drive.
Have fun!
