Yes, converting to MBR will prevent you from being able to boot OSx on the same hard drive but luckily converting to MBR is not required, for grub ( I dislike lilo ) you can follow this guide http://wiki.ubuntu.com/MacBook ( it is for a macbook but all of the install instructions up to and including the step " install network-manager" work on a macbook pro also ). There is also a macbook pro wiki page which you can use to get everything else set up after the install, or you could follow the macbook pro install instructions also, but as I said that will install LILO instead of GRUB. ( I have followed the macbook instructions on my mac and the intructions are actually in no way macbook specific and will on any intel mac ) If you would like more help feel free to email me personally :)
