Yes, there is an imaging tool with OSX server. You can just connect your iMac in target disk mode and pull the image off it as either a netboot or net install image.

Note you need to be using at least 10.5.6 if you have Leopard systems to prevent an issue with kerberos.

Keep in mind that if you succeed in this, you will need 7 new separate OS X licenses to remain legal.
