Yes, the mount is -t hfs; you can make it automount in fstab if you want.

If you will be running X, the woody version is much improved,
well speaking from powerpc experience; that may not really be
true on m68k. Still, the new X is much more modular; there may
be advantages.
Of course the software is all about 3 years newer in woody
than potato ...
And NO, the easiest way to upgrade is with apt-get dist-upgrade.
There's no need to re-install. Debian's upgrade system is tight
and executes extremely well. It has absolutely no similarity to
the upgrade process that comes out of Redmond.
