yaboot is the linux ppc bootloader, more akin to lilo than grub though.
It requires a special bootloader partition, that is 800k (you don't get any 
option on size, it's 800k), and it must go *before* the OSX partition 
(luckily, OSX doesn't care if it's partition number changes, so you can move 
it around).
I was able to resize, and move my OSX partition. I think I used mac-fdisk to 
resize, and parted to move.

You can do the rest of the install without harming OSX in anyway obviously, 
just not boot it :)
