  that's not it, those are both file systems (in .config: # 
Miscellaneous filesystems), you need support for mac style partitions:

# Partition Types
...
CONFIG_PARTITION_ADVANCED=y # not sure what this does
...
CONFIG_MAC_PARTITION=y # this is what you need
...

  I had the same problem... once you have the mac partition support you 
should be able to use iPod with e.g. gtkpod
