I've made a patch to GNU parted to support partitioning disks with GPT.
There are two patches to parted 1.4.11 available at
http://domsch.com/linux/parted. Apply the pmbrfix patch second.
To my knowledge, no one has tried modifying fdisk yet. I haven't had the
time myself.
The kernel understands GPT-partitioned disks just fine.
Thanks,
Matt
