I don't think any iMac flat panel can sleep in Linux no, you probably just have the display going to DPMS and maybe the hard disk stopping, but not the machine deep sleep with CPU off, front light glowing etc... At least I never implemented it for these :) Regarding notebooks, it'm fairly sure that the PMU will shut down the graphics chip on these during sleep, which means it needs to be rebooted from scratch, which isn't possible to do without either help from nvidia or lots of reverse engineering that I don't have time to do, especially since I don't have the HW.
