That makes a lot of sense. I'd missed that these were *i*Macs, and
therefore chucking a cheap SCSI card in may not be an option.

I think hardware is going to be the issue. If you've got a Mac system
that has a SCSI controller compatible with the drive, then you could
always try using one of the recent Ubuntu 5.10 Live CD's for PowerPC.
That way, you don't have to destroy an installed OS to do the recovery,
and you don't have to worry about OSX not understanding the partitions.
Maybe SCSI-to-Firewire (e.g. http://www.meritline.com/ulscsifircon.html)
or SCSI-to-USB
(http://www.mozillaquest.com/Hardware/Belkin/Belkin-SCSI-USB_story01.html)
may help you connect your disk to a Mac?
(The links above are just samples from a quick "scsi to usb" and "scsi
to firewire"
google search).
I don't know how Ubunutu may handle these converters but it sounds like
an appealing way to teach the Mac to read your Linux disk.
