I use an Iomega MiniMax (Model 33671 and 34940) with OSX 10.4.11 (Tiger) on them, as they both have USB2 and Firewire on the enclosure interfaces. Though I've also got an Iomega Extreme (HDD1H) and a few laptop portable HDD enclosures (LPHD160-C) which also have both USB and Firewire built-into the interfaces. So, these too are suitable to install Mac OSX onto as though it was directly connected internally with it being Firewire connectable, which you have to connect this way for it to boot/dual-boot MacOSX-MorphOS. I think I've even got an old Formac HDD USB/Firewire enclosure that I could use if I needed to. Each one of these enclosures will allow you to boot Mac OSX and then allow you to "pair" a bluetooth device so that when you boot with MorphOS using the same logicboard/hardware you can access the bluetooth device even though you are using MorphOS.
I daily use an Apple A1016 bluetooth keyboard for MorphOS, in fact I'm using it right now, so I know it works OK, which I "paired" through Mac OSX with the same hardware in my MacMini, just using an external HDD that was attached via Firewire that already had Mac OSX installed on it.
MacMini 1.5GHz,64MB VRAM, PowerBooks A1138/9 (Model 5,8/9),PowerMac G5 2.3GHz(DP), iMac A1145 2.1GHz 20", all with MorphOS v3.18+,Airport,Bluetooth,A1016 Keyboard,T-RB22 Mouse,DVD-RW-DL,MiniMax,Firewire/USB2 & MacOSX 10.4/5
