There are hacks that rely on special pathnames to access the resource fork of a file.

Also they might only work on certain volume formats.
I suppose I could end up eating my words, but I'd be surprised if ..namedfork/rsrc went away given that doing so would break a really huge number of applications at this point, the fact that it's currently the only way to access a resource fork from Cocoa/POSIX without using Carbon calls, and the fact that Carbon seems to be becoming deprecated these days.
