Just installed it on a late 2009 MacBook A1342 and everything works except the Broadcom Wi-Fi. Using an external Belkin stick supported by rum(4). Even the NVIDIA GeForce 9400m is functional both on the command line and in Xorg. The touchpad works out of the box with gestures and right-click and scrolling and the whole nine yards.

Newer Macs might be more challenging, with fancy proprietary chips and whatnot.

Be sure to enable apm(4) to not melt through your motherboard.
