Another vote for TestDisk, or to be more specific it's companion
program PhotoRec[1]. It's a very handy tool for those "oh ****"
moments.
It claims support for Mac OS X and HFS+, so I guess there's no need
for special mount commands.

> TestDisk does exactly that - it scans the whole disk looking for pieces of data that look like they were JPG images (or whatever you're searching for - it has a bunch of prebuilt filters) - which is why I recommended it. However different filesystems lay out files in different places - e.g. at multiples of 512bytes or other such things, but TestDisk might not have the rules for HFS+. I suspect it will do its best nonetheless, which is why I suggested it.
