This is what you would use to mount a UFS partition as created by osx.
It definitely would not work on an HFS+ filesystem.

My G5 running sarge has the hfsplus.ko module.

This is the default kernel I've been using for ages.

I agree that the kernel that the original poster was using was likely
misconfigured in some way to not have the hfsplus code. It's been
available in Debian kernels for a long time.
