I've had my Intel Mac Mini booting using grub off of a usb drive selected from refit for some time. I did this without any alteration of the internal OS X disk.
I wanted to upgrade to a larger usb disk and have dd'd a duplicate onto a larger usb disk. I used grub to setup the new usb disk bootloader with root (hd0,0) setup (hd0) from grub. grub shows hd0 as the only hard drive, and confirms that (hd0,0) is the proper ext2 filesystem. When I go to boot through refit and select the new usb drive, it never gets as far as a grub message. I get a "no bootable device insert boot disk and press any key". There is nothing wrong with /boot on the first partition of the new usb disk. I can get refit to boot off a cdrom and use grub from there to boot the new usb drive. I really can't remember what I did differently to get this to work with the old usb drive.
