You will need a wireless router to start with, then you will need to make the other machines wireless. For the notebooks you can use PCMCIA adaptors (not sure if Macs do these?), or USB dongle adaptors. For the 2 PCs you can use either USB dongles or PCI adaptors.

Most wireless routers also have wired connections. I myself have my games PC wired into the router, but my laptop connects wirelessly.
