Are you talking about a hack-in-tosh? or an old Mac? If a Mac, PPC or Intel?

Are you trying to use PXELINUX to manage your boot? or are you talking 
about netbooting / deployment of OS X?

If you are talking about just changing boot order on a hack-in-tosh, you 
can use chain.c32 to select the right partition/hdd.

If you are talking about netbooting/deployment, on a Mac PXELINUX is not 
going to work (in my experience), Although there was a netboot method 
available that didn't require an Apple Server. It consisted of some 
third party files, and a dhcp clause. I never did make it work with PPC, 
but never tried that hard either.

If we are talking about a newer Mac, I believe PXELINUX needs to grow 
EFI support before it will work.
