No, the magical "mount on boot" bit in the partition table entries for
those HFS partitions don't get set by Linux's mac-fdisk tool. You have
to boot MacOS and use Drive Setup to enable those bits (which MacOS sets
by default when it makes filesystems).
Learned about this the hard way - had to use this knowledge a lot due to
OS X's lame-ass SCSI support (?) breaking a coworker's HFS+ partitions.
