The old Powerbooks and iBooks used G4 PowerPC processors, which often ran quite hot. Macbooks use Core Duo and Core 2 Duo processors, which run much cooler. The graphics chipset is also slightly underclocked.

So no, modern Macintosh notebooks are not especially prone to overheating. However, due to faulty plastic molding, early editions of the Macbook were subject to fractures cause by heat stress.
