mac68k-current has, AFAIK untested, support for reading PC type
disklabels, and raw disklabels, too. That went in Jan 31, so you would
need a fairly recent kernel to test this.

MacOS 7.1 and higher ships with the PC Exchange control panel. With
that installed, you can format any partition as MSDOS, and then mount
it under mac68k using `mount -t msdos ...'. Dos itself, of course,
would never be able to make any sense of the resulting partition map.
Additionally (in theory, anyway), you could always _write_ a raw
disklabel, for the use of netbsd-i386--it's just that until recently,
mac68k had no way of actually using the raw label.
