Macbook - Best way to use Linux software?

I've bought a Macbook today and I was wondering what the best way to use Linux software is? Obviously there are bundles of considerations involved like library usage and package management.

Is there a package management solution and if there is does it merely blindly recompile the Linux options or does it use things like the Mac Qt and GTK ports where they are available?
