One app that's great for macs while gaming is SMCFancontrol. It's on versiontracker, but allows you to set a higher minimum fan setting so that you won't have any heat issues. I crank the fans up a bit when I game on my macs and they stay plenty cool. The default settings are nice and quiet but when listening to game sounds I don't care if the fan is a touch louder but keeping everything barely warm to the touch.
Does SMCFancontrol come with the mac operating system or is it an extra thing? sounds great!
It's freeware, it's very cool.

Is the authors page - he has the source up too, if anyone wants to tinker.

Only for Intel macs, tho, I can only use it on my Mini - but I saw a refurb dual Xeon MacPro tower for $2k...hrm...
