Actually, now it's a kernel module, but it's stil read-only:

Title: HFS filesystem for Linux
Version: 0.5.2
Entered-date: June 29, 1995
Description: Source code for a kernel-loadable module implementing a
                read-only Macintosh HFS filesystem for Linux kernel
                versions 1.2.x and 1.3.x.
                This version contains minor bug fixes over 0.5.1 and the
                addition of support for the 1.3.x series kernels.
                Improvements in 0.5.x over 0.4 include the ability to mount
                HFS CDROMs (and possibly hard disks, but that's untested).
                This is ALPHA software, so backup everything before trying it.
Keywords: Macintosh, HFS, filesystem, kernel, module

I tried it (back when my Linux box was still alive :( ) and it seemed pretty
stable. Hope I've helped...
