You should since your hardware is EFI compatible and Elementary is derived from Ubuntu and Ubuntu has this capability. You definitely need to use EFI I would think for it to work. I've never used a Mac so haven't any advice on that. You might do a google or check the Ubuntu forums as they are very active and Elementary is based on it.
