Ubuntu may not be providing them, but you can download CDs of Ubuntu
Feisty 7.04 for the older Macs (PPC variety):

In fact, I installed Feisty on a PBG4 laptop a few weeks ago. With the
exception of wifi, it works great. Note that the download page also has
images for SPARCS, Itaniums, and PlayStation3s.
I'm not sure about the newer x86 Macs. I believe they can run the
standard x86 Ubuntu. My recommendation is to download the iso, burn a
CD, plop it in a Mac, and boot while holding the C key.
Let us know how it goes.
