I've put a test image up at
http://mjg59.fedorapeople.org/Fedora-Mac-EFI-test.iso - this should work
if burned to a CD or dded to a USB stick. Insert, hold down alt, select
the Fedora logo. Possible outcomes:
1) Complete failure. I've fixed all the cases I know of that could cause
this, but there may still be possibilities. Please file a bug.
2) Boots, but graphics don't work. Please try with nomodeset as a kernel
option, then file a bug.
3) Success. Hurrah! Do nothing more.
2008 MacBook Pro 4,1 results:
----------------------------------------
DVD: Three EFI Boot options, one has a Fedora logo. All drop me to a GRUB 0.97 prompt.
USB stick: Initramfs unpacking failed: broken padding. Kernel panic - not syncing: No init
found.
Each reproducible 3x.

2011 MacBook Pro 8,2 results:
------------------------------------------
DVD: Two EFI Boot options, one has a Fedora logo. Both drop me to a GRUB 0.97 prompt.
USB stick: Video problem as described in Bug 765954, however it only goes half way down
and there's no further USB activity. Switching to console and issuing reboot commands
doesn't work (like it does with a livecd-iso-to-disk produced stick), so I'm
thinking probably a kernel panic here too but I can't tell why.

Also each reproducible 3x.

How many bug reports do you want? One for all, one for each model, one for each result?
And against what components?
