I'm not talking about NTFS partitions that show up as HPFS/NTFS. Is mounting actual HPFS partitions read/write possible?

EDIT:sorry was misreading HFS with HPFS.
HPFS could be be mounted but you need HPFS support in your kernel as it is pretty outdated you can try this driver for an old linux kernel: old linux driver found here

Yes it is and I hope you found the answer already :)
But I post here for the people who came directed by Doctor Google.
Read AND write access of hfs+ in linux is only possible if journaling is disabled usually done from within OS X terminal.
diskutil disableJournal /Volumes/NameOfYourVolumethen you can mount it with
sudo mount -t hfsplus -o rw,remount -force /dev/sdX /myHPFS/mountpointeventually you have to run for repairing the filesystem
sudo fsck.hfsplus -f /dev/sdXIf you still encounter problems, its likely to the wonderful invention of Apple Core Storage.
