Yep, PFS3 will definately handle it (the limit for it is something ridiculously high). I've got a 36Gb scsi harddrive on my A4000 partitioned up with PFS3 working with no problems.
PFS3 comes with hdinstall tools that will allow you to partition the drive plus a new format command - I've had to problems with it and its been a dream getting away from the constant revalidations I had with FFS :-)
