OS X 10.3 supports case insensitive HFS+ just format with the right option
selected.

Disk Utility Tool ?2002-2003, Apple Computer, Inc.
Usage: diskutil eraseDisk [format] newName <OS9Drivers>
[Mount Point|Disk Identifier|Device Node]
Completely erase an existing disk. All volumes on this disk will be
destroyed.
Ownership of the affected disk is required.
Format is the specific filesystem name you want to erase it as. (HFS+, etc.)
You cannot erase the boot disk.
Example: diskutil eraseDisk "Case-sensitive HFS+" fs1 disk3
Valid filesystems: "Journaled HFS+" "HFS+" "Case-sensitive HFS+" "HFS"
"MS-DOS" "UFS"
