GUID as the identifier.. well, there's UID.
If you are in 10.5, man dscl.
If pre-10.5, OSX numeric UIDs - any control over them?
You are right about GUID as partition scheme for intel based Macs. But the PPC partition scheme is APM (Apple Partition Map). PPC has open firmware as opposed to Intel based PCs having the bios. But intel based Macs use EFI for power management
