I've also got a new Powerbook (excellent box... you'll be pleased).  I
went the OS X route and I've been happy installing open source software
on top of OS X.  I haven't yet taken the plunge to install X11 so I'm
running just command line stuff & daemons right now.  Though Ben Reed's
work on KDE for OS X is getting me curious.

Before you install Yellow Dog check their web site for hardware
compatibility notes.  Last time I looked, they had some issues with not
supporting power management and some other things that may or may not be
an issue for you.
