iTunes adds part of the functionality, but Mac OS X system and updates need another part to the system, for telling not only iTunes but Mac OS X that the device connected is an iPod nano.
Maybe the install discs (not bundled with any hardware model) for Mac OS X 10.4 could be got for cheap e.g. from ebay. If your friend's iBook G4 runs 10.3 fine, 10.4 has about the same system requirements. (10.5 would be a bit slow on it so I believe 10.4 would be a better choice).
