Any recommendations for a camera body / lens that handles low-light well? I suppose that the quality of the CCD/sensor makes a great deal of difference here.
Also, I hear that the dSLR bodies don't shoot the same "proportions" as a 35mm body. What should I be looking for in this area?

As far as good, cheap, lo-light lenses, the Nikon 50mm f/1.8 lens is awesome and at around $100 the price can't be beat.
Also, as far as your "proportions" question: most digital sensors are somewhat smaller than 35mm film, so there is a 1.5X crop factor on images shot with the same lens compared to film cameras. In other words, a 50mm lens on a DSLR would produce the same image as a 75mm lens on a film SLR. Just something to keep in mind when selecting lenses...
