Using mac-fdisk to change MacOS partition sizes would probably NOT work.
The partition sizes would change, sure, but MacOS would probably be pretty
confused and offer to reinitialize the partitions when you reboot. If you
try it, you should be prepared to re-install everything on the partitions.
Whey not just erase the MacOS9 partition within MacOS and use it as a
separate partition within OS X? You don't have to keep everything on
one partition.
