There are tons of mud clients out there that run on linux and just using the x11 environment that you can run alongside Tiger allows you to make use of those. Therefore the "classics" like tintin++ or tinyfugue shouldn't be a problem. It is of course another thing if you want to use those fancy, flashy graphical things. Those seem to get developed purely for Windows users.
As for the performance, I got a G4 iBook, pumped up to the max of 1.25 GB of RAM. And I can tell you that it is not slower on the average stuff than my 3.4 GHz P4 (which I usually run under Linux).
