No, HFS+ is case-insensitive (but case-preserving). There's a variant  
(HFSX) that has a case-sensitive option available, but I'd guess the  
proportion of users running it is tiny. Likewise, UFS is available  
but rarely used.

(See http://developer.apple.com/technotes/tn/tn1150.html for all the  
details!)
