Well, first Marcel would have to update to 10.1, which can only be done with
an updater CD, no? And these are (were?) sold at about $30 from Apple and
resellers IIRC. I wonder what reseller would sell an iBook with 10.0.3 --
that's quite old by now actually. I think Marcel should go back to the guy
and claim an updater CD, since his system is almost obsolete. Then, after
updating to 10.1, the system update app will get you all the way to 10.1.4.

(On a side note: if you want ports of X11 apps, check out fink.sf.net -- in
my opinion the best distribution of ports for Darwin/OSX)
