HFS+ itself can be set to case sensitive. I have a machine partitioned so that it has a case sensitive partition, as well as a boot partition with the default. I have no idea whether NTFS can be set to case sensitive. I wouldn't be surprised if it can, and that that would thoroughly surprise most programs :-) Likewise, *nix can mount file systems from machines that are not case sensitive. You just can't know.
