I suppose that if the hardware can plug into the iBook there's a good chance it will work. I have an iBook G4 which I dual-boot (Debian) and it is able to talk to my midi controller (USB) just fine.

If the hardware works in OS X, and in Linux on x86, then it would definitely surprise me if it didn't work in linux on your iBook. -- Hans Fugal ; http://hans.fugal.net There's nothing remarkable about it.
