That's an audio out port. According to Adam, there's no audio line-in on the iBook so you'd need a USB mike if you want to use something other than the built-in mike. Also according to Adam, GarageBand will do the recording for you so you don't need to buy QuickTime Pro.
Griffin makes an excellent little line-in to USB converter for about $30 if you want to use a standard mike. I've had QT Pro for years and rarely use it, but one of the things I do use it for occasionally is to record and add a voice track to a presentation. Simple and easy. I use the iSight camera's excellent stereo mike when I'm doing that ...
