Well, I did a little Googling and found my answer. It seems fsck.hfsplus does not exist for Linux (at least, that was as of beginning of 2004... doubt that's changed in the interrim). Instead a work-around was reported here: <http://lists.debian.org/debian-powerpc/2004/01/msg00984.html> that I'll try:
From: Sebastian Henschel <debian at kodeaffe dot de> Date: Mon, 26 Jan 2004 16:01:15 +0100 "well, i have exactly the same problem. but i found a work around for that: mount the hfs+ partition via hpmount from the package hfsplus (http://www.penguinppc.org/usr/ftp/pub/hfsplus/hfsplus.src.tar.gz). this by itself does not mount the partition at all, but stops with an error message (v1.0.4). though something is done with that partition, because afterwards, i can mount it for writing again in the regular way with "mount -t hfsplus" (recent benh-2.6 kernel)."
