Unless you got Lion somewhere other than directly from Apple, then OS X can't be pirated. If you bought the iMac and it came with Lion, then it depends on how Lion got onto the Mac. But it really doesn't matter. If your iMac will support Mavericks, downloading it from the Mac App Store and installing it will give you a legal license to that version of OS X, regardless of the legal status of the copy of OS X now on the iMac. For application software, upgrading to OS X 10.9 won't have any effect on whether the other software is legal or not.

If you just got the iMac as a used system, though, I'd strongly recommend erasing the hard drive and reinstalling. That's the only way you can be certain that the previous owner didn't leave any sort of spyware or other malware on the system. It will also make sure that all the software on the iMac is legal.
