I assume you mean booting off EFI.  It is currently not possible to run 
OKL4 on a MacBook/MacBook Pro in conjunction with EFI firmware.

Some time ago, we added support for booting MacBook/MacBook Pro using
EFI in the Darbat project[1].  However, the Darbat source code is very much
out of date with the current release.

It should be possible to run Wombat even on EFI-based machines.  For
example, you can use the Mac port of ELILO to load an EFI file and boot
it off the Mac.  However, there will be some work in getting all of that
going.

It should not be too hard to get L4/Iguana running with BootCamp, but
we have not tested this option.
