Since MacBook Pro is still different from a PC, I think you still need 
to dualboot using BootCamp (provided on Apple's web site).  I don't know 
if the hardware will be entirely supported, but I suppose so.  I can't 
remember the URL, but I read an article once on how to install Dapper on 
one of those notebooks...

Here, one of the guy working with me has a MacBookPro, but he runs 
Dapper within Parallels (a vmware like utility) because he says he's too 
chicken to try bootcamp...
