I would expect that most of it would be identical regardless of 32/64 bit, generation or distro version. 64 bit will probably only really change things if you're using closed source, and if there are guides to 64 bit, it will only be easier 32. The very first link that comes up from Google is as basic as you're going to find: http://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBook

The very top section has links to pages for alternative versions etc. Scanning through the link reference is made in several spots to cover off different versions:

Wireless
If you have a first generation MacBook (Core Duo) then your wireless should just start working, though you may want to update to the latest version as illustrated below for better power efficiency and signal strength. Second generation MacBooks (Core 2 Duo) have a newer version of the Atheros Wifi chipset which requires the installation of the latest Atheros MadWifi drivers. [WWW] bug #122703

Everything about your trackpad is covered under the synaptic section. IR and bluetooth should be fairly generic, and there should be thousands of Google hits for them.

I second this notion.
