Yes, you can do this via the builder's tool kit--I can't recall the  
actual name, but it's freely available.  I used it when we owned the  
retail store so that I could put user data on a separate slice for  
easy back ups.  To do it after install, you have to munge a huge chuck  
of entries in the registry, so it's best to do it at install.

Not really.  I looked into that when I was building the hackintosh,  
since I intended to install all three of those and I didn't find a  
good answer.  I settled for Solaris 10 on the NAS and use VMs to play  
with OpenSolaris and it's variants.  The hackintosh dual boots OS X  
and XP (for gaming), and that's it.
