I would strongly suggest integrating http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-grub/2006-07/msg00037.html; it makes Intel Mac support in GRUB significantly less painful by supporting GPT partition tables directly. The patch is relatively small, looks sane to me, and works on my Intel iMac. I've integrated it into the Ubuntu grub package as of version 0.97-20ubuntu3, so you can grab it from there if you don't want to have to deal with unmunging the HTML from the lists.gnu.org archives.
