I'm sure Ghost is not specifically iMac OS aware--so you can't use the various procedures that look at the partitioning of the HDD and make adjustments for you as you go--for instance, you will not be able to have Ghost re-size the destination partition for you!
You would have to use a *raw* data (sector by sector) cloning procedure--which means exactly what's on the source HDD will be transferred to the destination HDD--so the size will be exactly the same on the destination HDD, and any additional space will be *unallocated*. You could then create additional partitions on the destination HDD using that unallocated space.
Ghost 10 has a *copy HDD* function, but I'm not sure it is able to do a sector by sector raw data transfer. You would have to experiment to see if it works! I don't know how the Master Boot Track on a Mac HDD compares to that of a Windows based HDD--so I can't advise you if you need to select to transfer the MBR in the copy drive process. But, you would probably need to disable the *Smart Sector* copying option.
You should review the information in the Ghost 10 User Guide, chapter 12:
