My wife and I use Reunion very happily. Aside from the excellence, power, and features of the software package, the folks who participate in the ReunionTalk forum are an excellent help in all things genealogy. The forum is very friendly and helpful with newbie questions. You cannot go wrong with Reunion. Run a Google search on mac genealogy software reviews, and read some of the web content. Beyond that, Dick Eastman has an interesting review on MacFamilyTree version 5.6 at: http://blog.eogn.com/eastmans_online_genealogy/2009/07/macfamilytree-version-56.html#more The price is attractive, but I cannot assess its video graphics requirement, which seem quite advanced, against what is in your iBook. Check the Profiles at lowendmac.com for your specific iBook. Eastman has also written very favorable reports on Reunion through the years.

There are also a number of web-based genealogy solutions.

PPC Geneaology software - what's best?
Ho all, Having recently bought a new MacBook, I'm loking to get my mum set up with my now-spare G4 iBook. She's not anyone's definition of a power user, so it should be fine for her purposes. However, she has (very) extensive family tree in Family Tree Maker, which Mac version was discontinued some time ago. I've got Virtual PC, so I can go down that route if needs be, but I'd like not to - she spends a lot of time on her tree, and emulation is glacial. I've heard good things about Reunion - in fact it's what the Family Tree Maker people recommend, but I know nothing about geneaology or the software for it, so I could really do with some personal recommendations. For any difference it makes, the iBook's running OS X 10.5.8 (quite happily, too).
