Could the very first generation of the Mac Mini handle app development for the iPhone? My friend said he'd give me his for free to use XCode, but I want to make sure that it could run it before I take it.

No. If you are trying to develop against IOS8. You need OSX 10.9.4(Mavericks) to run XCode 6.1.

Short answer: For current iOS versions? No. For any iPhone? Yes.
The latest OS X supported on that hardware (officially, don't know about hacks) is 10.6 and the latest Xcode you can get for that is 4.2 (if you have a paid account, it seems). Xcode 4.2 would support iOS 5.0, so if that's enough, then it can be used for development for iPhone. But I assume that's not what you're after, since a lot has changed since iOS 5.0.
