I decided to wipe out from existance OS X from my TiBook and run OpenBSD 3.3 instead. The install was quite straight forward once I got my disk geometry in fdisk right. OpenBSD mostly works on TiBook but it has several problems that range from would-be-nice-to-have to really annoying problems. Help would be appreciated:

1. Brightness keys. I read that the brightness and eject keys are supported but they don't work. 
2. My keyboard layout is in spanish and it is all messed up. There seems to be no support for spanish layout.
3. Under KDE the layout is even worse, the backspace key works like a del key (so there is no backspace!) and Konsole prints a ~ for most of my non alpha keys (like the backspace, so I don't have neither backspace nor del under kconsole)
4. The built-in trackpad only has one button so I need to use an external usb mouse. I've read that you can emulate the right button and should be quite easy once you know how to do it...
5. KDE's keyboard layout program does nothing. I've selected spanish macintosh layout but it does absolutely nothing.
6. apmd runs and will give you the battery status. However the computer is running really hot and the fan is on most of the time. Battery life has gone down to under one hour (as opposed to almost three with OS X). KDE has problems reporting the battery status with the Power Management icon, but gkrellms does a good job.
7. When I exit my X session the screen is totaly messed up and the screen wabbles. Rebooting fixes the screen.
8. Reboot works great, but shutting down with -h won't power off the computer. After the disk sync the display turns white and you have to force power off by pressing the key for 5 secs.

Sound and Firewire are not working but I already knew they were not supported. 

Here's my dmesg output:
