In /boot/config-2.6.26-1-orion5x,
CONFIG_HFSPLUS_FS=m
so, it looks like the HPS Plus file system support is built as a
module in the Debian kernel. Try
modprobe hfsplus
and then mount the partition.
You may also need to install the hpsplus package [1] (I've never tried
mounting an HFS+ partition in Linux).
