I've installed all manner of strange things on my Mac without much trouble -- it's amazing what you can just apt-get once things are appropriately set up, and for things not appropriately mac-ported from the *nix world the extra work required is usually limited to fixing a few install scripts and paths and the occasional bit of command-line parsing code.
Also: I tossed my ThinkPad for a Mac in large part because the ThinkPad batteries (and power management) were garbage, but that may have improved since for all I know.
The Mac is decidedly crap for games, though, so keep that in mind.
