Clarification: Boot Camp partitions your disk and burns a CD of Windows XP-SP2 drivers. The first part doesn't care WHAT you put on the new partition, so in theory you can install ANYTHING on it.
Now the problem: are there Linux drivers for the Mac hardware? Probably not many... That will be the problem. You can do it, and it will probably work, but not necessarily optimally.

Yes, it can be done. A friend of mine did it, although I'm not certain what distro he installed (I'm sure some work better than others)

You don't need Bootcamp to install a non-Apple OS. Just partition, install OS X, and then pop in your Linux cd and hold down the C key on startup.
