Scott, Yes there is a Windows tool that will give you HFS+, Joliet, and Rockridge, besides the newer version of Roxio, and it is free.
There is a cygwin port of the Unix makeiso utility. I have been using it for several years to produce CDs that are destined for cross-platform use.

You can always use ISO9660 format. Roxio has Roxio Creator 2010 which should do this. But on the whole, no, there are very few Windows programs that will format HFS+ format, if any. Windows programs are inherently limited and narrow visioned as far as format is concerned. Of course the Mac you are using is probably around 10 years old. Amazing how long it functioned isn't it? And if it is that old it probably relies on Appletalk. A more recent OS would integrate seamlessly into your ethernet.
