| Do I understand this correctly that you have two partitions, one for OS 9, one for OS X? If you clean install OS X onto the OS X volume, nothing from your OS 9 partition should be erased. However: All your information on the OS X partition would be, unless you choose "Archive & Install".
I'd look into using an external FireWire drive to make a backup before reinstalling.
