3d works out of the box, here is my config:

Network
The gigabit ethernet card uses the "sungem" kernel module, works properly.
The wireless card needs first a firmware, install it first (pacman-g2 -S b43-fwcutter).
Audio
You need to add snd-powermac manually to /etc/sysconfig/modules, after that it works fine.
The fn+f3/f4/f5 (mute / volume- / volume+) buttons work as well.
If you need /dev/dsp as well, then modprobe snd-pcm-oss manually.
Drives
There is a 80GB-sized IDE HDD. (Detected as hda.)
CD: internal CDRW/DVD (superdrive).
Floppy: None.
Firewire
There is one, I never used it.
Power management
Install pbbuttonsd, that will enable suspend2ram for you when you close the lid.
I haven't found an acpi-like console battery info tool for pmu, but I wrote one, see here.
Hotkeys
All hotkeys (brightness, volume, keylock, eject button) work out of the box.
If you install gtkpbbuttons as well, then you'll get some feedback like in osx.
