No, the only backlight MacBook was the short-lived unibody, between the core 2 duo and unibody there are a TON of changes, parts aren't just interchangeable like that. The placement of keyboard ribbon alone I think puts it out of the question.

I'm pretty sure that the Unibody wasn't backlight either, a friend of mine has one, and his isn't backlight, however i believe the 13" MacBook Pro (Which Basicly is a 13" MacBook Unibody) has a backlight keyboard.
The lower speed Unibody (2.0 GHz) did not have a backlit keyboard. The higher speed (2.4 GHz) did have a backlit keyboard. Weird, eh? Regardless, you all are right that you can't backlight a MacBook keyboard without some serious custom modification.
I've heard of people modding the unibody without a backlight to be backlit, buy yeah, that seems to be the general thing
Yeah, we have had no trouble just replacing the non-backlit upper case on the MacBook Unibody with the backlit upper case. The difference in interface is a single cable that both version have a connector for.

I found a "guide" of some sorts on Flickr where a guy took a MacBook Air keyboard and put the back light parts into his MacBook. I would give it a difficulty level of incredibly hard, but I just bough my own MBA top case, so I will find out for myself.

I will post pictures if I succeed in this. I'm going to also see if I can put the multiPod Touch track pad in too. : )

Sadly no, I ended up shorting the computer out while trying to find power and tapping into the Firewire port. Luckily the machine sustained no damage, but my hopes and dreams did. Also I found out the hard way that the plastic that transfers light is fragile and it broke. There goes $40 down the drain.
