Airport Administration
I just set up my Airport for wireless access across my home, and I have the airport's WAN access hooked into one of my Macsence routers lan ports for extra security. My, iMac, still connected to one of the Macsence's lan ports, needs to file share to my G4, which is located on a wireless connection behind my airport. What do I need to do in order to let these 2 computers see each other to share files? Furhter what port do they share on, NFS? Not using apple share...

You should let the MacSense router assign all of the network addresses and just run the airport base station as a bridge. You would do this in the Airport Admin Utility by going to the Network tab and making sure "Distribute Network Addresses" is NOT checked. Once you do that, the MacSense router should assign all of the IP addresses and each of your machines will exist in harmony on a single network.
As for the sharing part, I would recommend you just turn File Sharing on in your system preferences. It will work over TCP/IP without AppleTalk being enabled.

I take it your iMac doesn't have the Airport option, or do you really need two Routers? I share with my wifes iBook all the time but I just have the Airport. Should be as simple as going to the File Sharing contol panel and turning it on. Under OSX you to to the Go menu & Connect to Server if I remember right, Under OS9 your sharing folder should be right there on your desktop.
I'm only tring to help.
