There should be support for hfs+ resizing in parted or any libparted using
tool. The same tool should be able ro resize ext2 or something such, altough
you could simply add an additional partition if needed.
I have never tested those, and elementary prudence would be to make a full
backup of both partitions before resizing, well at least of the macos
partition.
If something goes awry, please fill a bug report against the parted package.
And maybe doing a backup of your partition table (simple dd if=/dev/hda
of=mybackupfile count=1024) or something such would also be welcome.
