Per this and this, Mountain Lion Server appears supported, if you have enough disk and physical memory.
You can migrate from that release, but would have to acquire and upgrade to OS X Server 10.6 either from Apple (if that's still available, and you'll almost certainly have to call Apple to get a serial number for it) or maybe a new-old-stock 10.6 server (if you can find a copy of that) if you want to upgrade.
If you’re currently running Lion 10.7 or above and need to use PowerPC software, see above(if your computer shipped with Leopard), or use the computer’s thumbdrive if applicable, or if your model shipped with Lion or newer, phone the online Apple Store, order Mac OS X 10.6 Server, and run it inside a product such as VirtualBox. Mac OS X 10.6.8 Snow Leopard is an upgrade to the previous version of OS X Leopard. This update does not have stacks of new features, rather overall improvements and efficiency upgrades. This version of Apple's OS also has a reduced footprint. Key features include. Mac OS X Leopard (version 10.5) is the sixth major release of macOS, Apple's desktop and server operating system for Macintosh computers. Leopard was released on October 26, 2007 as the successor of Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger, and is available in two editions: a desktop version suitable for personal computers, and a server version, Mac OS X Server.It retailed for $129 for the desktop.
I'd try the call to Apple first, if you really want to try the upgrade and not a migration.
Here is the Lion-related migration and upgrade information, which does reference migrations from as far back as 10.5.8.
One potential way to migrate might be multiple external backups, then use Server Migration Assistant to haul in the old bits.

FWIW and given the vintage of that Mac Pro 3,1 box, I'd seriously consider replacing that box with a Mac Mini Server and maybe some external Thunderbolt storage. Much smaller box, newer, and likely roughly as capable. Given the vintage of your current Mac Pro server, the upcoming Mac Pro probably well exceeds your performance and storage requirements.

There's also an OS X Mavericks release 'coming this fall' per Apple announcements.
