My friend has a MacBook from around when OS X Leopard came out. It's one of the white plastic ones. Can he connect this to two monitors? If not, what does he need to do so?

Connecting two external monitors to a laptop?
Answer
Yes, such is possible. There exist USB to VGA adapters that will allow two or more monitors on a MacBook. Here's a link to a blog post that reviews one such product:
REVIEW: EVGA USB VGA Adapter Adds Two or MORE Monitors to MacBook Pro
And here's another such product: TRITTON Technologies TRI-UV200 SEE2 Xtreme
I use a Tritton USB to VGA adapter with my PC at work, and I am generally satisfied. It works fine for most applications, but don't expect good refresh rates for video playback or video games. YMMV.
UPDATE: There's also a product from Matrox called DualHead2Go which will expand your VGA port to support two monitors. It shows Macbook support. Read up at Matrox finally adds Mac compatibility to DualHead2Go and TripleHead2Go. I expect this may perform better than the USB adapters.
