You mean tags generated by the file taggging plugin? That uses
spotlight comments field which in Tiger was stored seperately. Leopard
changed the metadata storage but I don't know if spotlight comments
are now stored with other metadata. Nevertheless, the problem will
still be for flickr to understand HFS+ metadata, and whetther it is
even preserved using standard upload mechanisms.

Thus the most solid way for this to work would be having a script/app
before upload read all tags and convert them to photo metadata which
flickr could read. There are native commands to read spotlight
metadata, and you can use Exiftool to write them to XMP. So in theory
it should be straightforward for the flickr uploading plugin to do
this.
