You can create a hybrid HFS/ISO-9660 cdrom. Quoteing from the mkisofs manpage:


===
If Joliet or HFS hybrid command line options are specified, mkisofs will 
create additional filesystem meta data for Joliet or HFS. The file 
content in this case refers to the same data blocks on the media. It 
will generate a pure ISO9660 filesystem unless the Joliet or HFS hybrid 
command line options are given.

mkisofs can generate a true (or shared) HFS hybrid filesystem. The same 
files are seen as HFS files when accessed from a Macintosh and as 
ISO9660 files when accessed from other machines. HFS stands for 
Hierarchical File System and is the native file system used on Macintosh 
computers.
