I was just about to set my machine up to do the same.  IIRC - consensus
a while ago was to set up an "exchange" partition on your system which
will be DOS/FAT formatted.  It seems to be the one filesystem that can
be safely read from and written to by Mac OS Classic / Mac OS X / Linux
(ironically enough, even on a PPC machine :)  The package you need is:

    http://packages.debian.org/stable/otherosfs/dosfstools.html

if you don't have it already.
