Yes, the .iso for macppc is from mkhybrid(8) -part -hfs, such that
Open Firmware sees the .iso as an HFS (under an Apple partition map),
but OpenBSD sees the .iso as a cd9660 filesystem.

This is different from amd64 and powerpc64, where the .img is an
msdos filesystem (under an MBR), but the .iso is a cd9660.
