Ahh! Recompiling... Does it really matter for the 2.6.x kernels if things are compiled as modules versus compiled directly into the kernel? I've put everything directly into the kernel... (maybe one day when I understand all this stuff a little better I'll go back to fighting with modules).
I don't think it matters, stuff you need for boot (e.g. drivers for the disk you boot off) has to be compiled in. Generally I prefer modules because it makes troubleshooting easier: you see which ones are loaded, can remove and load them with different options, see what exactly happens when you load them (messages in /var/log/syslog) etc.
Another plus of modules is that you can add modules and don't have to reboot - e.g. in your case you can (could have) just change kernel config, build and install modules and modprobe the mac partition module (if it can be compiled as a module, I don't remember), no need to reboot or new kernel installation.
with udev you have to specify the modules you want to load in /etc/modules (or load them manually when you know you need them), there's no auto-load of modules on demand (which IMO is a step backward).
