          Yes it should be possible!



          You should start by modifying the size of the partition where mac is installed with the mac "Disk Utility".
          Then you should install rEFIt: http://refit.sourceforge.net/ which simplify the booting of linux distros.
          At last you insert the Lubuntu cd and install normally



          EDIT: you may also use rEFInd: http://www.rodsbooks.com/refind/ instead of rEFIt as the rEFIt website states, but I personally never tried it.
