grub should work, although I noticed
making a bzimag has no problem,
doing a static make install seems to have issues
(old grub no problem, newer grub yes,
something about the bits).
At the moment I use grub2
which works great for the macbook
(latest git kernel from linus is perfect,
just check uvcvideo to make sure it doesn't get unchecked)

As for any other apple model, I have the latest imac,
everything works as well, although I noticed
grub2 was not recognized(something to do with the
hard drive being different due to being so big 1000gig)
until I used refit then I was able to boot into linux.

everything should work.
