I have installed Trisquel 5.0 in vitualbox 4.1.10 on imac 24 early 2007 (
core duo duo) with Lion 10.7.3 primary system. I want know if my hardware (
for example airport wi-fi,isight webcam) are compatibility for uses in
Trisquel and my sound card firewire maudio firewire solo is recognized in
Trisquel 5.0 in case you want to install the operating system natively on a
partition of mac.

Since I do not own a imac, I can hardly comment on compatibility but it might
be a wise idea to check out how well your imac is supported by the more
recent versions of Ubuntu, since this is the base for Trisquel.
Rule of thumb: Anything which requires non-free firmware will not work. If
you have a ATI graphic adapter for example, it will not work with 3D since
the free radeon drivers requires card-specific ucode.
You can quite easily boot up Trisquel in Live Mode from the DVD and check out
how well your hardware is supported. If your IMac supports booting from USB
devices you could simply install Trisquel to a 8GB USB stick and boot from
it. I use USB-based Linux installations quite often nowadays.
HTH,
