gpart can recover partition tables. I used it to recover a failed disk where 
the extended partitions were screwed due to a disk  failure. Every attempt to 
restore the tables on disk failed. The partion table grew stranger each time, 
but I could recover data from a disk image.

no idea other than the man page....,sorry.
