My current understanding is that you need bootcamp to get
a fully featured graphic stuff: in this sense you cannot.
If I remember well you can get information about on the refit page,
and may ask to the mactel mailling list.
Any how, I guess it is a reasonnable idea to keep OSX
at least to test your hardware in case.
Note that you need the firmware provided in OSX to runs the ISight camera.
