Tiger has this support available for Non-Server MacOS 10.4.x (it 
already existed in Pre 10.4 Server Versions).

What I do since there is a limited set of files I want on a 
case-sensitive volume is generate a .dmg image as Read/Write and 
format it as UFS. When needed, just mount the volume and use it. This 
avoids collateral accidents by allocating normal case-preserving 
data-sets on the case-sensitive volume.

I've used this successfully when I had to assume responsibility for a 
Unix Based Web Site where the creator accidentally make use of the 
ability to have the same file name multiple times by altering the 
case. I was able to use the UFS .dmg file to keep a copy of the site 
while I worked on fixing the duplicate names during a migration of 
the site to Case-Preserving Server.
