My basic suggestions / approach:

1. use Cee Pee You (free from Unsanity.com) and Activity Monitor to  
monitor your cpu use (where the heat comes from, basically)

2. Set Energy Saver to "better energy saving" (which reduces cpu  
clock speed)

3. quit applications that you are not using / minimize the number  
open / check that none are using too much cpu power
     (Word has been guilty a number of times, in my experience)

4. improve air flow to the Powerbook by raising the back edge 1 to 2  
cm off the desk top (preferably with something metal to conduct some  
heat away)

More sophisticated ways exist of reducing Powerbook temperature  
through forced air / fan cooling, but that is $.

See if any of the above help, and report back.
