There's a kernel patch for the 2.4.x series:
	http://sourceforge.net/projects/linux-hfsplus
The page links to a forum with the article, "Seems usable", but
I haven't had the time to try it with my machine.

The other avenue would be to configure UFS support into the Linux
kernel, since UFS is part of OS X.  However, the Linux side UFS
write code is still marked EXPERIMENTAL, so caveat emptor.
